The Latest Zombieland: Double Tap Trailer Pokes Fun at How Long It Took to Get Made

When Zombieland: Double Tap opens in theaters later this month, it’ll be a decade since the original was released.

Venom 2 Has Andy Serkis on Its List of Potential Directors [Updated]

With the Mouse Guard movie officially cancelled, it appears one of that film’s would-be stars, Andy Serkis, has some room in his schedule.

And that’s a testament to Sony’s belief that audiences are going to want to watch a charmingly-disheveled Tom Hardy murder and eat people in the name of twisted justice in this movie and any potential sequels.…

“Zombieland” Is the Perfect Date Movie

They said zombie romance couldn’t be done, but new gorecom Zombieland proves it can. And it’s not sappy romance either – it delivers the angsty, twitchy, hyperverbal courtship style of the geek generation. Dystopia is the perfect hookup prelude.
