[url]http://io9.com/5375730/[/url] [quote]Zombieland was supposed to be a TV show on CBS. But when the network ditched the series — the fools! — Zombieland was made into a movie. Leaving tons of material for sequels. Which the writers revealed to us. We spoke with Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick all about the long journey this zombie epic made from television to film. We learned what changed, and how many more zombie movies these two guys have in their brains. How much did the film change over the years? Rhett Reese: It's surprisingly similar, interestingly. It underwent multiple devolopment experiences. We wrote it as a TV pilot and sold it to CBS, and they had a lot of notes, which we addressed. And then when they decided to not make the pilot we unaddressed a lot of them. We went back to what we had, because we liked it more. In most cases. In a few cases we kept what they added because they did have some good notes. Paul Wernick: Interestingly the last bit of the movie is essentially episode two of the TV show. Rhett Reese: When we decided to expand into a feature we took what we thought supposed to be episode two and we plugged it in. And the big change that we made when it became a movie was that Ruben [Fleischer] our director wanted to set the third act at an amusement park. Originally it was set as a big huge fight at a gas station. But it's awfully similar strangely. Paul Wernick: Strangely and wonderfully. Is there a Zombieland 2 in the works? Rhett Reese: We don't know it all depends on how the first one does. So grab your friends, and make them cast their vote for Zombieland 2 by buying a ticket to Zombieland 1. Paul Wernick: We've got some really fun ideas. And interestingly the last day of the movie, Woody told us that, "I generally never go back to a world, I don't love sequels, but this is one I would be honored to do." So pending the movie doing well and everyone being excited and loving it. As we hope they will, we'd love to do it. Rhett Reese: And we'll take what we intended to be episode three of the television show and start movie number two. Paul Wernick: We got a 23 episode season in our head. So divided by two that's about 12 movies in our head swimming around. So that's Woody and Jessie Eisenberg tld us he was interested as well, let's make it happen! I wouldn't mind Zombieland 1, 2, and 3 at least.[/quote] it makes sense since it was gunna be a tv show but was scrapped.
That explains all the faggy falling in love story bullshit and the not enough zombie slashing. Really, the begining of the movie was fun up till the supermarket scene, then the middle is just a road trip and then again the ending picked up its awesomeness till and then more love story crap. If there is a zombieland 2, keep it with the same characters so that way that gay little boy and that hot spanking ass girl can cover up the love story bullshit for the second film, kill off her little sister so she doesn't fall in love with some boy, and make Woody Harrelson gay, and just make the second movie an epic zombie killing thriller.
The movie was awesome, don't criticize what is already perfect.
I watched Zombie Land tonight, this is far the most awesome movie I have seen thus far in terms of horror comedy, I recommend it to anyone.
Woody Harrelson is going to attack more paparazzi thinking they're zombies.
It's not perfect, but I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, gotta enjoy the little things
I actually just came back from seeing this and I have to say, this is definitely the best movie I've seen in ages, seriously, it was amazing.
Loved it, Not Shaun of the Dead good, but MUCH MUCH better than the regular hollywood garble. A must see.

Rule: Double Tap Gotta love sequels.
Zombieland 2 Zombieland 3 Zombieland 4 Zombieland 5 Zombieland 6 Zombieland 7 Zombieland 8 Zombieland 9 Zombieland 10 Zombieland 11 Zombieland 12 Zombieland 13
I said "What." really loudly after reading the title, my Mom is giving me looks now. I should really see the first one.
[QUOTE=Vasili;17765481]I watched Zombie Land tonight, this is far the most awesome movie I have seen thus far in terms of horror comedy, I recommend it to anyone.[/QUOTE] fuck that shit, Shaun of the Dead was better hands down. Some stupid parts in it, like Tallahassee locking him self up with 2 pistols and 6 mags and many [b]many[/b] zombies, yet killing them all. Looked cool though.
I hate Woody Harrelson.
I bet CBS are crying in their rooms right now, watching what could have been theirs, make loads of cash.
[QUOTE=610925;17766486]I hate Woody Harrelson.[/QUOTE] :argh:
It's nice to see the producers of an interesting movie have a lot of more ideas.
Interestingly.
I hope this doesn't turn out like the "Scary Movie" series where only the first film was great but the others are shit.
[QUOTE=TAU!;17768292]I hope this doesn't turn out like the "Scary Movie" series where only the first film was great but the others are shit.[/QUOTE] Exactly what I was thinking.
[QUOTE=610925;17766486]I hate Woody Harrelson.[/QUOTE] and Woody hates you to.
If there is a sequel, they'd better find an entire twinkie factory with unspoiled goods. Tallahassee would piss himself in utter glee.
Sweet Jesus! :dance:
[QUOTE=delta_43;17769647]If there is a sequel, they'd better find an entire twinkie factory with unspoiled goods. Tallahassee would piss himself in utter glee.[/QUOTE] However before he can, Columbus accidentally blows up the factory and then tells Tallahassee he can always pick the shrapnel out...

Sounds good, though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little sceptical about the quality of these films decreasing as they went along. Sequel theory and all that.
I'd only be up for seeing a few sequels if it doesn't get repetitive or retarded. If it's got funny material like the first, s'all good.
I just saw zombieland in the threaters that was a motherfucking good zombie comedy movie i bet the squeal will be even more awesome.
