Zombieland 2 - What We Know So Far
What really helped Zombieland 2 get off the ground was that everybody involved wanted to return to this gory world as soon as production wrapped on the first film. As Columbia Pictures president Sanford Panitch explained, "This is one of those projects that fans have wanted to see happen for a long time — and no one wanted to see it happen more than Emma, Woody, Jesse and Abigail."
And this wasn't just the corporate suits talking. Emma Stone told Jimmy Fallon that she was excited to get back to work given that they all stayed in touch as their respective careers took off. "We all have stayed friends this whole time," Stone joked on The Tonight Show, "so it was like, we've hung out with each other in the interim, but it was like — we were all in Atlanta again, but 10 years older ... and you could feel it."
Woody Harrelson echoed those sentiments, telling MovieWeb, "What we've shot so far, I'm really impressed with. Getting to hang out with these guys — Emma, and Abbie, and Jesse, and Ruben — I feel so lucky, really, really lucky." With that kind of enthusiasm and camaraderie on set, we're certain that Zombieland 2 will be a ghoulishly good time.
