Zombieland 2 in the works

Jesse Eisenberg recently confirmed that a first draft of the script for the sequel to "Zombieland" has been completed by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, despite the fact that the writers are also penning "Deadpool" and "GI Joe 2."

STYD has now caught up with "Zombieland" director Ruben Fleischer, who revealed that he has already read the script. "Yeah, I read it," he said. "I mean, it's an early draft and we have plenty more to do to work on it, but I think it's going to be amazing, I'm really excited about it."

At this point, Fleischer is not sure if "Zombieland 2" will be his next project. "I got a couple irons in the fire, so we'll see, but I'd be psyched to do it," he explained. "I have this buddy cop movie that I sold to DreamWorks that's pretty cool. There's a movie that Mike White (Nacho Libre, School of Rock) wrote called 'Babe in the Woods,' that's a really cool script, so those kind of exist and I guess we'll see what happens."

Fleischer has already spoken to Sony Pictures about shooting the sequel in 3D. The original cast is expected to return.
