'Zombieland'

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has set a February 2 release date for the popular and hilarious Zombieland. Can the rules of Zombieland include awesome DVD extras? I think it can; Exclusive to the Blu-ray disc is Sony’s unique movieIQ feature and a picture-in-picture commentary track, dubbed ‘Beneath the Graveyard,’ which allows for access to behind-the-scenes footage, animatics and storyboards.

The disc will also contain commentary with Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, director Ruben Fleischer and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. There will also be several making-of featurettes, including ‘In Search of Zombieland‘ which is a series of visual effects progression, deleted scenes and trailers. Nifty.

The DVD is set at $19.95, with the Blu-ray at $26.95. A UMD for the PlayStation Portable also will be available and the order date is Dec. 31. You can pre-order your Blu-ray copy of Zombieland right here.

And what of a possible sequel? Read on for some dish. Although Amber only is featured in a cameo scene, I’d personally love to see more adventures with the hilarious Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock!

FearNet spoke with Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who both loved the idea of a sequel, which is right now dependent on the studio and the movie’s performance – not the cast.

“The cast is very open to a sequel,” Paul tells us. “When we wrapped the last shot of the film, Woody [Harrelson] gave me a big hug and said, ‘I’ve never, ever wanted to shoot a sequel after wrap, until this one. I would adore a sequel.’” While no script exists, plenty of ideas do: the film was originally conceived as a TV series, so the duo have a brainstorming file loaded with dozens of different scenarios. “It would probably still be a road movie, to a certain degree,” Rhett offers. “Having the heroes holed up somewhere gets too claustrophobic and is too reminiscent of Dawn of the Dead.” Paul has a request from producer Gavin Polone, who was not fond of shooting in a rare Georgia cold snap: “Let’s make it Zombies of the Caribbean.” A sequel will definitely have more “Zombie Kill of the Week” segments.

The pair already know there will be plenty of fun extras on the DVD. Sadly, the piano-crushing scene was the only “Zombie Kill of the Week” filmed, so don’t look for more of those. Instead, you can expect a lot of scenes that further flesh out characters and conflicts. Another entire character was included in the original cut – you may or may not see him/her on the DVD: “We really liked that character and we may want to use them in the sequel.” Yup, couldn’t even scare a pronoun out of them.

Zombieland
has a fantastic cameo role, and the writers actually re-wrote that segment of the movie for each of the dozen or so major names they sent the script to. When I brought up the idea of putting all those different cameo scripts onto the DVD, Reese was receptive. “Maybe. That’s a fascinating idea. I haven’t seen a lot of script pages on DVDs before, but it would be cool for people to see that.” You heard it here first: if you see those script pages on the DVD, it was all my idea.
