Alongside his counterpart, Tallahassee (played by Woody Harrelson), Flagstaff embarks on a zombie-filled adventure in the sequel to the cult classic original film.
Shooting began in January 2019 and scheduled for release in October on Zombieland's 10 anniversary. Given how invested Hollywood's become in zombies since the success of AMC's The Walking Dead, the 2009 horror-comedy was a welcome change to the grim and morose nature of the post-apocalyptic zombie genre.
With the original grossing over $100 million on a $24 million budget for Sony Pictures, Zombieland: Double Tap expands on the 2009 film as the foursome face new threats with evolving zombies and potential allies in new survivors. . You can see Middleditch on Silicon Valley on HBO and the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters on May 31st, 2019. How do you think the new names will factor in the film? Will they be survivors they picked up along the way? Are they inhabitants of a camp the main group settled in since the events of the first film?
What are your theories? Sound off.
