86.Zombieland 2
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody
Harrelson, Abigail Breslin
Release date: 11 October 2019

Zombieland joins the ranks of films that
are getting belated sequels as director Ruben
Fleischer returns to his zombie comedy world
almost ten years to the day since the first
film hits cinemas. Will it be as good as the
first movie? It will if it sticks to The Rules....

Rule #1 Get the oRiGinal cast back
All four of the main cast are signed up,
despite being a lot more famous now than
they were then, so that’s a big reassuring tick
for Zombieland 2.

Rule #2 RemembeR that the
behind the scenes talent is
just as impoRtant
Not only is Fleischer back, but so are
screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick,
better known these days as the writers
behind Deadpool.

Rule #3: avoid GenRe oveRkill
When Zombieland hit, zombies were at
the beginning of a major comeback. Now,
everyone’s a bit bored of them. So maybe it’s
time to make fun of them again?

Rule #4 aim foR the heaRt
Sure, Zombieland was funny and
exciting and occasionally sort of scary,
but don’t lose sight of the heart of the
first film: the characters, and all their
fears and insecurities.

Cast

TBc

Release date

18 December 2019

a live-action reboot of Masters Of The Universe has been in the running for a while now, but

seems to have finally settled on its directors. With no casting announced yet, we’d expect the release

date to slide.

based on the first book of Patrick Ness’ hit YA trilogy, boasting the stars of both

Star Wars and Marvel franchises, and with a plot line that deals with everything from

misogyny to political manipulation, this film is well-positioned to become a huge hit.

Reshoots earlier this year may mean that the film misses its planned release date, but

we should see it soon.

fantastic beasts 2: the cRimes of GRindelwald
left us with a lot of questions.
How exactly is Credence Albus Dumbledore’s brother? Why was he
being taken to America? And does Albus know about him?
Will Queenie be saved? The second film’s most heartbreaking twist
was Queenie being manipulated to the dark side – will her and Jacob
ever make it work?

person in Crimes Of Grindelwald, so how does she become the
