Despite the sheer number of cold bodies on the screen, the original Zombieland operated with a pretty economical cast: Outside flashbacks, cutaways, and one absolutely exceptional celebrity cameo, the film relied almost entirely on stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin to provide its human element. Sequels being what they are, though, it’s not entirely surprising to learn that the long-in-the-works Zombieland 2 is going to (tasty, tasty) flesh itself out a bit. Per Variety, Luke Wilson has now joined the film’s cast, fast as you can say “Woooow—no, wait, that’s his brother.”
Anyway, whatever Luke Wilson’s own catchphrase is—“Hi, I’m Luke Wilson,” possibly—we can’t wait to see him bust it out in Ruben Fleischer’s bloody follow-up to his 2009 undead hit. The basic plot of the film is being kept quiet, but it’ll supposedly see the four main cast members return, still adjusting to their newly forged nuclear family while also dealing with other people/Wilsons, as well as mutations and evolutions among the zombie horde. It’s scheduled to come out this October, just in time for the 10th anniversary of the original film.

I hope this sequel is as good as the first.
In the sequel, they reveal the zombie virus was created from a mutated strain of CancerAIDS.
Sounds like something Kronish came up with. For that matter, this film(and all films) need some Keith David in it
I’d say it was masterminded by….you guessed it…Frank Stallone, and his Army of StrideMothers.
wow, no one told me they were rebooting Firsties. I am enjoying this nostalgia.
I’m Not Sure how I feel about this. Definitely still excited for the movie though.
I know that this will be controversial, but I enjoyed Zombieland and look forward to watching the sequel.
Not to top you on controversy, but I’m the only person I know that thought the Amazon pilot they made was pretty good.
You are. You got an award for it and everything! Granted, you had to make it yourself, out of tinfoil, bottlecaps and tears.
Damn it! Thanks for nothing, Fallout 76!
When will we, as a country, finally get over this zombie shit?
We haven’t even gotten over Macho Grande yet! Give us time!
Hey, give us credit: we finally took care of that drinking problem.
Since Luke Wilson has the acting range of a zombie this might work out okay.
Some zombies will lead, some will follow, but he will get out of the way.
Really? He found time in his busy schedule of. . . being a spokesperson for toothpaste?
“it’ll supposedly see the four main cast members return, still adjusting to their newly forged nuclear family”Given that Breslin no longer looks 12, I have no idea how they’re going to pull off the lack of time skip.
Extremely overrated movie. It was OK. It wasn’t great. Same with The Big Lebowski.
This movie is officially dead to me.
Wow im old.. zombieland is like my top 10 favorite movies
