Fans of the first movie won’t have trouble recalling Columbus’ (Eisenberg’s) rule #2, the double tap — which advises post-apocalyptic survivors to be sure all those shambling corpses are really down for the count by shooting them not once, but twice, for good measure.
While plot details for Double Tap are still light, the sequel reportedly will bring with it a bigger variety of newly-evolved zombies to plague the four survivors on an all-new road trip across the U.S. Hey, maybe they'll even find a way to bring Bill Murray back for a cameo — though we suspect he'd be more than a little worse for wear this time around.
Driected by Fleischer ( Venom ) and also featuring recently-announced cast member Zoey Deutch in a still-unnamed role, Zombieland: Double Tap takes dead aim at theaters on Oct. 11.
In other development news, ABC reportedly has ordered a pilot episode for a paranormal-sounding series based on an alternative interpretation of the mysterious and deadly Bermuda Triangle .
The new drama reportedly is being written by Jon Harmon Feldman ( Tru Calling ) and Sonny Postiglione ( Life on Mars ), and follows a “shipwrecked” family as they forge alliances with other stranded survivors from across Earth’s history, all of whom have ended up trapped in the Triangle’s time warp and must band together to devise a way to get back home.
ABC also has ordered up a pilot episode for a crime drama based on Oni Press’ Stumptown series of comic books, according to the same report.
