Zombieland - New, unfinished trailer

A very cool trailer for the film. Watch it before it gets gone.

In the 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.

Zombieland - Poster

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) 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.

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.

Venom has got his own movie.

Some interesting news regarding the symbiote suit known as Venom over on SciFi Wire. It look as if Sony have given the official go ahead for the Spider-Man spinoff movie and has hired Zombieland writing team Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese to pen the script, the writers told a group of reporters.

"We had a really great relationship with Sony on [Zombieland], and so that was a nice in for us there," Reese said in a group interview. "It gave us a leg up."

The duo is already working on the script, but they are sworn to secrecy on the details. "We're under strict orders on Venom," Wernick said. "We can't talk about it. It's just super secret."

Unlike Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, who has admitted that he wasn't a Venom fan before directing Spider-Man 3, Wernick and Reese said they are big fans of the comic character and have recently been doing their research to ensure that they do justice to him. "We read [Venom] growing up, but we were not experts," Reese said. "We certainly know the mythology of Venom, but went back and learned more when it became clear that we could actually get this job."

Ultimately, the writing team has fan interest at heart, they said. Even as they are just getting started on the script, they admit fan scrutiny is on their minds. "Absolutely. I'm terrified," Reese said with a nervous laugh. "It's source material that everybody knows and everybody's familiar with and everybody loves. There's a burden on you to meet the expectations of people. A lot of people are curious about Venom."

Personally, I really enjoy the character of Venom in the comic book. As Eddie Brock he was great, but as Mac Gargan he is a true beast. However, the Venom in Spider-Man 3 was a big waste of time.

Hopefully this spinoff film will have a whole bucket load of black clad nastiness.

What version of Venom would you like to see? Should Carnage show up? Who would you like to play Brock or Gargan?

Zombieland - Buddy zombie comedy starring Woody Harrelson

This from First Showing.
Taking its cue from Shaun of the Dead, another buddy zombie comedy is in the works, titled Zombieland. This one will star Woody Harrelson and little known actor Jesse Eisenberg (who just finished Adventureland for Greg Mottola) as a pair of mismatched survivors who find friendship and redemption in a world overrun by zombies. Eisenberg is in negotiations to play Flagstaff, a terrified shut-in whose cowardice makes him an expert at surviving the zombies but who is forced out of his shell to join the band of survivors. First-time feature filmmaker Ruben Fleischer is directing a script written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (creators of "The Joe Schmo Show") for Columbia Pictures to distribute.

Sounds pretty good and Woody Harrelson is a good bloke to have in a movie. The title, to me, suggests that it could be set in a theme park. Anyone else got any info on this?
