Zombies have evolved to be harder to kill in Zombieland 2: Double Tap trailer
Tallahassee and the gang are back to take on an evolved version of the walking dead in Zombieland 2: Double Tap.
Our favorite ragtag survivors of the zombie apocalypse must battle newly evolved versions of the undead in Zombieland 2: Double Tap, a sequel to 2009's surprise hit black comedy Zombieland.
In the first Zombieland, a particularly virulent form of human adapted mad cow disease sweeps across the United States, transforming most of the nation’s populace into ravenous zombies. The film follows a ragtag group of unlikely survivors—Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), and orphaned sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin)—on a road trip in hopes of finding someplace yet untouched by the disease, ending with a pitched battle against zombie hordes in an abandoned amusement park. Audiences (myself included) loved the mix of horror and dark screwball comedy. In fact, Zombieland beat out the Dawn of the Dead remake as the top-grossing zombie film to date.
While the original cast expressed enthusiasm for a sequel in the wake of Zombieland's success, their enthusiasm waned as the project languished for several years. Along the way, the four main cast members were each nominated for Academy Awards, and Emma Stone actually won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in La La Land (2016). So it's surprising and a bit gratifying that each of them retained sufficient fondness for their Zombieland experience to return for the sequel when it went into production. It's not like any of them really needed the work. "I think they are making this movie because they love these characters," Columbia Pictures President Stanford Panitch said in a June 2018 statement to Hollywood Reporter.
