Zombieland was released on October 2, 2009 and the ten-year anniversary of its release is fast approaching. The writers of the film are hoping to have the sequel released in 2019 as a celebration of the film's special anniversary. Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick recently spoke with Vulture about the sequel, saying that:
“We’re going on the tenth anniversary of Zombieland. Zombieland came out October of 2009. We don’t know what you get someone for their tenth anniversary, but it may be a Zombieland 2,” Wernick told the site. “The hope is that we’re shooting that thing early 2019 for an October of ’19 release… With the original cast, by the way.”
He continued:
“We are sitting on information that we can’t entirely share at this moment, but we can just say we think fans of Zombieland who have been hoping for a Zombieland 2, that we will grant their wish very, very soon.”
Zombieland featured Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, and Abigail Breslin.
