Zombieland trailer drops. Get your fanboy thrills here.

Posted by Bryan White | Friday June 19, 2009 | News

Hollywood always seems to come show up to every indie movie trend fashionably late, don’t they? Every fifteen year old with ten bucks, some stage blood and a prosumer digital camera have been making zombie action movies in their backyards for years and just now as the zombie wave seems to be cresting, they come along with this. Even though I’m tired of thoughtless zombie stomps, I will give them a little credit here. This could easily have been another horror movie remake. So good on ya, Hollywood.

Even though I’m bored with zombie action movies, I’ll more than likely wind up seeing this one because it looks like a lot of fun. There’s also the matter of seeing just what about Woody Harrelson’s character caused him to method act so deeply that he attacked a photographer at an airport thinking that he was beating up a zombies with his own bare hands. Also, the fact that they don’t seem to be taking things terribly serious, illustrated by dropping a piano on a zombie, helps me enjoy things even more.

I’ll tell you what, though. If this entire movie was set to Everybody Wants Some, start to finish, I’d give it an A+ review right now. David Lee Roth, by default, elevates the quality of your product. Somebody make that happen.

    Hollywood is no stranger to pandering, but Zombieland looks to be in the same vein as Shaun of the Dead, and if that’s the case, I’m on board. Plus c’mon, it’s Woody Harrelson! I predict a fun & funny kickass romp with the undead. :)

    Well, it’s derivative, but at least it’s done shamelessly.

    An American Shaun of the Dead maybe?
    I agree with the David Lee Roth sentiment though. A few falsetto screeches in there and I’d be happy :D

    I have watched it a number of times and I still enjoy it very much. Never been a fast moving zombie fan but they even manage to explain that away with the Zombie being more of the infected human variety. Lots of fun.
