As such, he was not easy to convince to get on board. He wanted to make sure it was good and felt like a second episode to the Zombieland saga. Woody is very protective of what Zombieland was and didn’t want to just do it as a money grab or do it just to do it. So what changed? Explained Reese, “It was an email from Woody Harrelson.
But it came together two and a half three years ago and we thought ‘Oh my gosh, we actually could be making this thing!’ It was a great thrill and one of the great moments of our careers.” But ultimately that pining paid off because it was the love of the first movie that we all had and the love of each other that really brought us all back together. I hate to say that because we never want to admit to giving up hope but it was a labor of love for a long, long time and ten years is a long time to be pining for something. With the cast going on to what they’ve become and everyone’s schedules so busy, including ours, we had given up hope a little bit. But while talk of a Zombieland sequel began almost immediately after the first film’s success, it never seemed to actually off the ground.Īs far as whether they began to feel it just never would happen, Wernick remarked, “I think we had always been consciously optimistic but the key to staying sane is keeping expectations in check.
If you have a hit movie, most of the time, you’ll get a sequel within two or three years.

So after so long, what changed to finally get the sequel made, and how did the ten-year break change the depiction of life in Zombieland – and how did it not?įandom went straight to the source and spoke to Reese and Wernick about Zombieland: Double Tap.
