While it has been about eight years since Zombieland was released, the hope for a Zombieland 2 was revealed by Sony Pictures at CinemaCon last year when a logo was revealed. According to the films writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, Zombieland 2 is still in active development.
“It is [in active development],” Wernick said. “We’re trying to get it going. All of our cast have read the script and love it. Reuben [Fleischer] is signed on. It’s just a matter of making our cast deals and making it for a budget number. All the cast have become superstars now so, we made Zombieland with 20 million, so it’s trying to fit that financial model into the sequel model so it makes sense for the studio and being able to pay the actors what they now get paid and deserve to paid.”
