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.
Mother of the Bride Review: This movie is an embarassingly silly and crigny watch with no soul or substance.
The Guardian Of The Monarchs Review: This documentary evokes a profound sense of sadness as it sheds light on the shortcomings of investigations and raises crucial concerns regarding the perils confronting environmental defenders.
Thank You Next Review: This is an engaging and introspective watch about modern dating and the depths of relationships.
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.
