#TRAILERCHEST: Aim for the head because Zombieland 2 is finally here in all its bloody glory

Paul Moore

Zombieland 2

This looks bonkers.

In the first Zombieland, if you had to define the character arc of Woody Harrelson’s character Tallahassee in the simplest way possible, you’d just say that he really wanted a twinkie.

You know, aside from dodging hordes of the undead that were trying to tear off his flesh in the most gruesome way possible. However, by going full Looney Tunes in terms of its action set-pieces, the zom-com was massive hit.

The cameo form Bill Murray was also one of the all time great. Anyway, the gang are back together in the sequel and if you ever wondered what Woody Harrelson would be like as president, this is for you.

Bring on the carnage.

Plot’s it all about?: A decade after Zombieland became a hit film and a cult classic, the gang are back. Through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Cast: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Rosario Dawson, Zoey Deutch, Luke Wilson.

Director: Ruben Fleischer.

Release date: October 18.
