With The Walking Dead away Zombieland has come out to play
and no, not the amusing film written and directed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Instead, the same duo have teamed with Amazon to place the same
horror-zombie-comedy concept on our screens but, as a television
series.
Apparently the pilot episode is available online now but
many have been experiencing problems (including myself) most likely due to high
traffic. Nevertheless, you can by all means try by clicking the link here. If
that fails, why not just watch the official trailer below which will give you
an insight on what to expect.
Unfortunately Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, et al. have not
returned, but the pilot is directed by Tucker and Dale vs. Evil’s Eli Craig.
The concept of the show is very similar to the film, in that a group of
survivors fend off zombies in a comical manner, with one-liners in abundance (although that appears debatable). I have to
say I am not greatly enthused by the trailer, and I also question the longevity
of something like this that has already been covered and rounded off nicely in
a 90 minute film. If anything, it makes me want to watch that again
instead. Regardless, we must let Amazon know
as they will only continue with the show if there is a good response.
What are your thoughts on the trailer and the Zombieland
foray into serial format? Post a comment!
