I think it’s fair to say that since the Fall of 2009, people have wanted a follow up to the horror comedy Zombieland.

That said, given the popularity of its cast (Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson), it’s starting to look like that film was lightning in a bottle. So what do the creators do to make a sequel happen?

If you said “Turn it into a half hour TV show!” you win, as FOX and Sony Pictures are working together to turn Zombieland into a half-hour comedy for the 2012-2013 season.

This is interesting, as the movie originally started off as a potential TV series, but was turned into a film when the project stalled at CBS.  Given the HUGE popularity of AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead, zombies are the new big thing, so it’s of little surprise that someone bit on the project.

Sorry to say that this will kill all hopes of a Zombieland 2 proper, but I think given that they’re going the half-hour comedy route, as opposed to an hour long dramedy, that this project could work, stand out and be a good time. I sure am going to miss that cast, though.
