‘Zombieland 2’ Promises to Have Blood Flying in Your Face
It has already been revealed that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are hard at working penning a sequel to their smash hit zombedy Zombieland that will bring Ruben Fleischer back to the director’s chair for zombies in 3-D. A new video interview with the writing duo was posted online today where they reveal some big plans for the 3-D elements in Zombieland 2. Read on for the skinny.
With Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg confirmed to be returning, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick explain that they want to create a larger family.
“We want to stick with our dysfunctional family,” Wernick told MTV in the below interview. “But also introduce new characters.”
“We entirely want to write with 3-D in mind,” Wernick added. “We have the vision, and want to have fun with the technology…”
“We want you to be looking down at your popcorn to make sure there isn’t blood on it,” Reese said laughingly. “There will be a lot of fluids flying!”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
