Extremely well marketed serio-comic, indie-style road movie |
Although zombies started out as one of the scarier new genre of horror films after George Romero re-invented them in the 60s, filmmakers have in recent years increasingly looked at them as a source of comedy. That's the angle of Zombieland, directed by music video director and TV producer Ruben Fleischer.
Woody Harrelson stars as Albuquerque, the "most frightened person on Earth", drafted as an unlikely savior for a band of people to lead them to safety. Scripters are Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, probably known most for the Joe Schmoe Show, so expectations needn't be that high, at least until we see some footage. Also starring is Jesse Eisenberg, who had kind of dropped off our radar after a couple of brilliant turns in Roger Dodger and The Squid and the Whale. (Reagen Sulewski/BOP)
