Sony is Very Interested in a Zombieland Sequel, But in 3-D!

After Zombieland came on the scene last month, there was no doubt that its director, Ruben Fleischer, was going to become very busy, very quickly. And despite some other very lucrative offers, today Moviehole reports that Sony is quite interested in a follow-up sequel to the darkly hilarious undead comedy. Fleischer told them not only is Sony extremely interested, but it sounds like the project will be given the digital 3-D treatment, and we'll see Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin back again on the big screen sometime soon, splattering zombie blood and body parts right in our bespectacled faces.
But it's still unsure as too how far off the sequel might be. With so many offers for Fleischer on the table, anything can happen. On top of that, it sounds like he is interested in tackling a romantic comedy of some sorts, but without all the walking dead and stuff (which is good, because I already saw Shaun of the Dead). Oh and speaking of which, though it might not be fair to compare the two, Zombieland certainly held its own against Edgar Wright's comedic masterpiece, and though I don't consider it to be in the same league, I respect the slightly different comedic approach Fleischer took on this one. I think most people would agree.
Hopefully 3-D hasn't run its course by the time this gets made, after all there are plenty of other gimmicky horror films in 3-D down the line that could ruin the fun. But since it's just another fun trip to Zombieland, I don't think anyone will have a problem with it. Stay tuned for more from Fleischer and for any news on a Zombieland sequel, which we hope arrives much sooner than later. Is this something you want to see?

Zombieland > Shaun of the Dead

I'm picturing some really kickass Zombieland stuff in 3D. I'm liking the idea.

no! and you know why? because it cant be as awsome and fresh as the first one and the last thing people need is an american pie/final destination version of zombieland. Not holding my breath here though.

The zombie action isn't what made Zombieland a great film. The characters/story/plot are what counted. Zombieland 2 in 3-D sounds like a fucking terrible idea. Way to fuck up a movie.

Let me say this very clearly: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Why ruin a good chance at a sequel? Putting it in 3*gags*D would for lack of a better word make it suck.

Mr. Anderton please for the love of good tell me you are not a 3D lover!?

They'll probably have a 3d and a 2d version. I'll see it in the 2D version. I like 3D but only for movies that warrant it.

Xerxex,
I'm not a "3-D lover" per sem but I think the technology does have a certain appeal with films that have striking visuals like vast landscapes, detailed set pieces with depth, and great special effects.
However, I think that the 3-D craze is getting a little out of hand. Too many studios think that 3-D is a draw simply because it's 3-D, when in reality it's a combination of a great story and 3-D technology that actually adds depth visually and enhances the movie-going experience.
With this Zombieland sequel, it's a toss-up. Could be a gimmick, but could be fun. I think we'll be waiting awhile to find out anyway, but I can understand your distaste for 3-D. It definitely doesn't seem to be for everyone.

Anderton,
I agree with you that the 3-D craze is out of hand.
As for the 3D adding more "depth" to a film I disagree, 3-D is more of a distraction, something "popping out" of the screen would take me out of the film itself, I don't see the need, for 3D to be a "normal" movie experience. Now if Avatar does good I'll see it in Imax 3-D, but I can say for a fact that will be the only film I ever see in 3-D.
As for Zombieland it is a toss-up, and I say it leans on the gimmick side, but I could be wrong. 3-D
to me is just a waste of time.
