A full ten years passed between the release of 2009’s Zombieland and 2019’s sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, and director Ruben Fleischer revealed to Deadline that he’s still hoping to maintain that streak with Zombieland 3. Fleischer revealed intentions for the long-gestating third installment to finally arrive in 2029. “I’m hoping that we’ll do a Zombieland 3 in 2029. […]
The actor told ComicBook while promoting his new release, “Yes, I would like to [make Zombieland 3]. Zombieland was, I think a 10-year break in between. This movie, we did one, and then like three years later, and then 10 years later. So, Now You See Me is probably more likely to have more movies than Zombieland.”
Eisenberg starred in the 2009 zombie comedy alongside Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. The zombie-slaying quartet all returned for the sequel.
It’s a hopeful, though not speedy, update for the third installment.
In the meantime, Fleischer also revealed hopes to helm a vampire Western.
He tells Deadline, “But also, there’s this Western vampire movie that I’m really excited about, that’s like a classic Western with a vampire at the center of it. Like Unforgiven, if Clint Eastwood was a vampire. I’m really hoping to make that. I feel like the two genres that I dreamed of making were a gangster movie and then a Western. So I’m hoping that I’ll get the chance to make a Western.“
Here’s to hoping that Fleischer gets his wish on both projects.
