19 movies we’re definitely looking forward to in 2019
7. Zombieland 2
Ten years after Zombieland premiered to glowing critical acclaim, the sequel, Zombieland 2, will finally be hitting theaters in October of 2019. There are no details yet on the plot, but it’s safe to assume the sequel will be packed with more of the same hilarious horror goodness that made the first so beloved.
So far, things are looking good on paper for Zombieland 2. The director of Zombieland Ruben Fleischer will return to helm the sequel; you may also recognize him as the director of Venom. Here’s hoping he continues to bring those hilarious manic action vibes back to Zombieland 2. On top of that, Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese penned the script, which promises even more good things in the laugh-out-loud violence department.
There are no plot details yet, but it will be interesting to see how the characters’ lives have changed in the interim between the first and second movies. One of the most exciting things about the sequel is that it will reunite the four main members of the original cast: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. On top of that, one of the reasons Fleischer cites as to why the sequel took so long is that the cast would not sign back on to it unless the script was at least as good, if not better, than the original. And now that the project is a go, it’s safe to say that Zombieland 2 will be shooting for greatness.
