At last, the rumbling of rumors circulating the film have now been silenced & official news about the sequel has been released.
Writers for Zombieland Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick announced today via Vulture that the film is targeting an October 2019 release. The sequel will also bring back the original cast!
Wernrick said:
“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… The hope is that we’re shooting that thing early 2019 for an October ’19 release. With the original cast, by the way.”
