The only thing I'm not looking forward to is when those epic/disaster/date movie idiots get around to making Zombie Movie.

Zombieland already has a special place in my heart. I fell for a girl I was with while we were at that movie on Monday. Fell hard. I won't be forgetting that night any time soon.

Zombieland was definitively one of the best Zombie movies ever, hopefully they can make the hypothetical sequel just as good.

I would definitely watch a sequel, and would really like to see what happens when they go to Columbus or Talahassee, or even where the girls are from.

I'm planning on seeing Zombieland this weekend, and I've got to say, if it plays out on the screen like I've got it built up in my head, I'd stick around for a franchise.

It's ok. CBS would have canceled it like the late great Jericho. Better it have a chance in film form where they will at least handle one story at a time and if a sequel isn't made it won't be disappointing.

@Zyg: At least CBS was good enough to cancel Jericho and give it a second chance later on. Fox wouldn't even do that for TSCC, so CBS is better than Fox IMO. At least Zombieland got made into something vs. nothing at all.

I just saw Zombieland today, and it didnt just exceed my expectations, it bludgeoned them with an inexplicably placed banjo.

I need to ask though, was I the only one asking Eisenberg's character why he kept using that double barrel?

I also have to say, I found it was more than just the sort of cheap undead fun the title would suggest. There is a scene (BIG spoilers here) where Harrelson's character talks about his puppy and how that was home for him, and how thanks to the zombies he'd lost him, in keeping with the kind of goofy feel I expected the dog to show up at the end somehow, I'm usually pretty good at calling plot points, and something about the slight inconsistency of the puppy story screamed "REUNION AHEAD" to me.

Of course that's not what happens, down the road you find out that the puppy wasn't a puppy at all, it was his son, and I don't want to sound sappy here but it is rather poignant. (or at least it was to me)

My long winded point is that it takes skill to deliver an emotional gut punch like that in the midst of clubbing redneck zombies with a banjo and (literally) dropping a piano onto a zombie's head, Wylie Coyote style.

@hhaller: Yeah. i normally find sequels to be a sad cash grab that never matches up to the original, but I'm so hoping that we see more of this story in a sequel. I feel like they could have told hours of story on the four characters and their adventures without it getting old.

Loved the movie and the Bill Murray cameo was fucking hilarious. I hate to swear but that's what it was, and I will definitely be picking this up when it hits bluray next year. I hope they have all the Murray takes on the home releases.

Any io9 readers who saw Transformers 2, Xmen Origins, the Twilight movie, or any other "blockbuster" that was mostly run by the hype machine in any way, and did not see this on the weekend (without a good reason) is a fool/poser/ [insert derogatory word]. It is by far the most fun at the movies this year.
