THR says
Fox is looking for its own set of zombies.
Fresh off the record-breaking ratings for Sunday's Season 2 premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead, the network and Sony Pictures Television are developing a potential half-hour comedy based on the Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone starrer Zombieland.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Fox and SPT are in development on a half-hour comedy version of the 2009 feature from producer Gavin Polone, as first reported by Vulture.
Deliver Me Review: The Swedish series follows two troubled teen and their troublesome lives when one of them is shot dead.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Sigh......I'm not big on this news for a few reasons.
1.) We won't get the original cast
2.) I'm not sure I look at Zombieland as a "Comedy"...I mean it has comedic moments but I still can't quite consider it a comedy.
3.) Why Zombieland? Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but I think they should leave it alone. Want to go back to the series, do it in a proper movie.
4.) 30 minute episodes? It may as well become a sitcom with laugh tracks.
5.) If they want to do a Survival Horror series, do it in 1hr episodes, and base it on the characters of Left 4 Dead.
The only thing that really bugs me...is the 30 minute time limit. Just seems like that might be cutting it a little short for this type of genre.
Still I'm down for it. When you look at the film, it is kind of easy to see the elements of TV series that's in there, which the writers originally planned.
Plus with them having 'worked on TV ideas for years' there's sure to be some damn good stuff in there.
looks like i can seriously get back into tv since smallville
hope this comes to fruition as they say
I'd rather have a Zombieland 2 movie than the tv series. I really dont' think they will make it into a very good weekly tv show. You really can't do a lot with that on a comedy level if it's just 30 minutes...it's just going to be dumb.
