First Look: ‘ZombieLand’ Shows Off Zombie Basics

What do you need to have a great Zombie flick? There are books and books out there discussing the topic, but somehow these pictures for Zombieland perfectly expose the necessities. Luckily, earlier in the evening, we invited Quint from Aint It Cool News over to Reject HQ to watch a The Worst Witch/Murder By Death double feature, beat him over the head with a brick, and stole his images. Did we need to attack him to take the images off his site? Hell no. Consider it a cherry on top. Plus, he sort of looks like a zombie now, so he’s probably geeking out about that – so no hard feelings.
So check these out. You’ve got…
- A crew of misfits with shotguns
- A guy desperately trying to get into a car with zombies a few inches away
- A crazy gun enthusiast who loves killing stuff
- A baseball bat to the skull of a somnambulist in a supermarket
Yes, they are all essential elements to any good zombie picture. Looks like director Ruben Fleischer has the foundation laid for what might be a solid little zombie comedy in Zombieland. As you can tell from the pictures, it features Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. Amber Heard is also in it, so I’m guessing Neil will use that as an excuse to surf for pictures of her.
