The trailer for Ruben Fleischer’s post-apocalyptic zombie-comedy “Zombieland” has just been released online and, unexpectedly, exhibits a film heavy in comic overtones with an overall look of a fun, entertaining film.
While the film probably takes a leaf or two out of Edgar Wright’s own zom-com “Shaun Of The Dead,” Fleischer’s leading duo of Woody Harrelson’s gun-crazed Tallahassee and Jesse Eisenberg’s awkward youngster Columbus seem the part for the unlikely duo trying to survive. Joining the two on their quest will be Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as their female counterparts.
The film will also boast some significant zombie cameos as well. The likes of Bill Murray, Amber Heard, Mila Kunis and Matthew McConaughey are rumored to be appear in an undead capacity.
“Zombieland” hits theaters October 9th.
Here’s the synopsis:
“Zombieland” focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus (Eisenberg) is a big wuss – but when you’re afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee (Harrelson) is an AK-totin’, zombie-slayin’ badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita (Stone) and Little Rock (Breslin), who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.
