This sequel to Zombieland has been in the works forever — but, watching it, it’s hard to understand why, writes alisonwillmore
Abigail Breslin, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, and Jesse Eisenberg in Zombieland: Double Tap Photo: Jessica Miglio/Columbia Pictures A Zombieland follow-up is the “fetch” of horror comedy — writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been trying to make it happen for the good part of a decade now. There was talk of a sequel almost immediately after the first film became an unexpected hit in 2009, pushing two of its at-the-time rising stars, Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone, toward greater fame.
It’s more illuminating to think about Double Tap as a product of industry forces than a movie, because the movie itself is so creatively threadbare, ironically offering no sense of why anyone, from the audience to the team who made it, would feel any urgency to return to its world. That world, you might recall, is one that’s undergone an undead apocalypse, leaving scattered survivors to make their wary way while adopting aliases based on where they’re from.
In Double Tap, those desultory developments begin with members of its main foursome chafing against the domesticity of the makeshift family life its members have settled into. Wichita is feeling antsy about Columbus’s attempts to get her to commit; her younger sister, Little Rock , wants to spread her wings and dislikes her surrogate dad Tallahassee’s protectiveness.
