Zombieland - Trailer

Columbia Pictures' horror comedy Zombieland focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a big wuss - but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee (Woody 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 (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail 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.

Due out on 9th October 2009.

Zombieland - First photos of Woody Harrelson

These are the first photos (courtesy of AICN) of the zombie comedy, Zombieland, by Ruben Fleischer. It's looking very good. Can't wait to see the trailer, which is meant to be showing with Year One.Jesse Eisenberg plays Columbus, a teenage who has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other. The film also stars Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine).
The film is out on 9th October, 2009.

Bill Murray is a zombie in Zombieland

Shocktilyoudrop have it from a reliable source that the always excellent Bill Murray has donned full zombie makeup for a cameo in Ruben Fleischer's Zombieland.

He's joins Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin and Amber Heard in this horror comedy where a band of survivors team to fight the living dead in the post-apocalyptic Southwest after a zombie plague ravages America.

This is the film that made Woody Harrelson punch a cameraman in the face because he thought he was a zombie! (see below)

Now the involvement of Bill Murray (although only in a cameo) suggests to me that it has a little bit more about it than other such zombie films.

Emily Browning to take Snyder's Sucker Punch

Emily Browning (The Uninvited) will replace Amanda Seyfried in Zack Snyder's action fantasy Sucker Punch for Warner Bros.

The Australian-born Browning is probably best known for her role as Violet in 2004's Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Seyfried had received the offer and was very interested in the starring role as an insane asylum inmate who loses herself in a fantasy world where she dreams about escaping with her fellow inmates. But she had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with the fourth season of Big Love. (HBO wouldn't release Seyfried from her shooting schedule.)

Shooting on Sucker Punch is set for the Autumn. Evan Rachel Wood, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, and Emma Stone are all still in talks to costar.

Amanda Seyfried can no longer star in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch

Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) has been forced to drop out of the leading role in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch due to her commitment to HBO's Big Love series reports Entertainment Weekly.

In the 1960's-set, R-rated action fantasy, Seyfried was set to play a young woman who has been committed to an insane asylum and fantasizes about escaping with the help of her fellow inmates.

Due to scheduling, Sucker Punch will be shooting this Fall - around the same time Big Love is midway through filming its fourth season and HBO won't release her from her commitment.

Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone remain set to co-star in the Warner Bros. action-thriller due for release next October.

Sucker Punch - Mamma Mia! The cast for Zack Snyder's next film has been announced

With Watchmen bowing Friday, director Zack Snyder is already busy prepping his next endeavor, the 1960s-based action fantasy Sucker Punch, based on his own script. Snyder is still putting together his all-female cast, but sources say Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) is in negotiations to play the lead role of Baby Doll, a young woman who has been committed to an insane asylum and fantasizes about escaping with the help of her fellow inmates, who take on fantastical roles in her mind. Offers are out to a slew of young actresses to fill out those roles, including Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical), Abbie Cornish (Stop-Loss), Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler), and Emma Stone (Emma Stone). The $100 million budgeted film for Warner Bros. is scheduled to begin production in the Fall. Says Snyder, who is also producing the film with his wife Deborah Snyder, "I already did the all-male cast with 300, so I'm doing the opposite end of the spectrum." - Entertainment Weekly

Snyder has called the film “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns”, blending such elements as dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels in an R-Rated $100 million budgeted 1950’s-period action movie. It tells the story of a girl named Baby Doll (Seyfried) who is confined to a mental institution by her evil stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While imprisoned, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain. In this fantasy world, where she needs to steal five objects to help her out before she is deflowered by a vile man. Hudgens (”Blondie”), Cornish (”Sweet Pea”), Wood (”Rocket”), and Stone would play Seyfried’s fellow inmates who also travel into the alternate reality.

All sounds kind of cool Return to Oz, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors kind of way or that Dreamscape film starring Dennis Quaid (I'd forgotten about that film until just now. I think it had a snake guy invading the President's dreams or something). Can't wait to see some concept art for Snyder's vision of this. I predict slow motion kick ass fights.

What are your thoughts on this film? Could it work or will it be a great big honking mess? Does it remind you of any other films?
