Zombieland (2009)

[edit]
Main article: Zombieland

Two months have passed since a strain of mad cow disease mutated into "mad person disease" that became "mad zombie disease", which overran the entire United States (with the infection presumably spreading to the rest of the world), turning many Americans into vicious zombies. Survivors of the zombie epidemic have learned that growing attached to other survivors is not advisable because they could die at any moment, so many have taken to using their city of origin as nicknames.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

[edit]
Main article: Zombieland: Double Tap

Zombieland: Double Tap takes place six years after the first film. The four main characters from the first film decide to move into the White House.

Future

On the possibility of a third film, Fleischer can not decide if the cast will return or not.[1] He has stated that he "would love to do a Madison stand-alone movie."[2]

Television

In October 2011, it was reported that Fox Broadcasting Company and Sony Pictures were considering a television adaption of the series to be aired on CBS, with Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese writing the script, but with the main actors of the original film likely not returning. The television program was planned to begin in Fall 2012. These plans did not come to fruition.[3] In January 2013, it was revealed that the casting call for the production just went out for the main characters, with a few changes to the movie for the show and the addition of two new characters, Atlanta and Ainsley.[4] There was a pilot episode created and aired by Amazon along with several other pilots, but it was not one of the 2 chosen to go into production for a full season.
