‘Zombieland 2?’ Yes, please
Zombieland writer Paul Wernick talks sequel
Sequels are redundant. If a movie has even the least bit of success, the possibility of a sequel always seems to loom overhead after opening weekend. Usually we don’t ask for it…until now.
Zombieland scribe Paul Wernick recently spoke to MTV and gave his thoughts on the possibility of a follow-up to the current No.1 movie in America. “We would love it, and everyone involved creatively wants to do another one,” said Wernick. “Woody [Harrelson] came up to us after the final cut of the last scene and gave us a hug and said, ‘I’ve never wanted to do a sequel in the previous movies I’ve done until this one.’”
The horror-comedy scored $25 million domestically during its opening weekend and is expected to garner another jackpot this weekend as positive reviews and word-of-mouth from your fake Facebook buddies have captured the short attention span of the male demographic.
“It has lived in our heads for four-and-a-half years,” Wernick said about a Zombieland 2. “We developed it and wrote it as a spec TV pilot in the summer of 2005. We’ve got a long brainstorming document that still to this day gets updated on a near-weekly basis with ideas. We’ve got tons of new ideas swimming in our head.
“We would love to do several sequels. We would love to also see it on television. It would make a wonderful TV series.”
