Avan Jogia doesn’t find the same success as the formulaic hippie Berkeley. Zoey Deutch plays it up as the stereotypical dumb blonde Madison and may end up being a new favourite. The new cast additions are slightly hit-or-miss – Rosario Dawson as Nevada is the female version of Tallahassee, but Dawson manages to fit right in. Rarely does a politically incorrect character end up being hilariously endearing Harrelson knows precisely where to go overboard and exactly when to reel it in. They work incredibly well with each other, but the one who stands out is the trigger-happy Tallahassee played with calculated abandon by Woody Harrelson. Harrelson, Stone, Eisenberg and Breslin pick up right where they left off without missing a step. Previously, one of the most fun aspects was the chemistry between the four lead actors, and there’s no shortage of it this time around either. ‘Zombieland: Double Tap’ eliminates any signs of sequel fatigue by taking what made the first film work, building on it, and throwing some curveballs along the way.
Not many sequels can justify their existence, let alone be good. This causes problems as the four make their way across a zombie-infected United States in search of a place to call home. But, familiarity breeds contempt, and after spending so much time with each other, they begin to realise they’re not as close-knit.
Not only have they identified different types of zombies, and how to work as a team, they even see themselves as a family. They’ve had enough time to hone their zombie hunting and killing skills over the years and are now pretty good at it. Zombieland: Double Tap Review: It’s been a decade since Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) met. We are thrilled Ruben was willing to come back to direct the sequel, as his work on Venom has been truly amazing.Zombieland: Double Tap Story: This sequel picks up ten years after the events of Zombieland (2009). “These are some of the most in-demand actors and I think they are making this movie because they love these characters. “This is one of those projects that fans have wanted to see happen for a long time – and no one wanted to see it happen more than Emma, Woody, Jesse and Abigail,” said Columbia Pictures president Sanford Panitch. The film will begin production in January 2019 and will be released in October 2019, just in time for the horror-comedy franchise’s 10th anniversary. But, most of all, according to the studio, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.” The new movie will “once again put the focus on comic mayhem, taking the quartet from the White House to the American heartland as they face off against new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. The original writers, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, are returning too. The movie will be directed by the original director, Ruben Fleischer. Nearly a decade after the original Zombieland, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin are all set to return for the follow-up. The exciting news was confirmed on Friday (July 13) by The Hollywood Reporter.
