Zombie business isn’t booming like it was a few years ago now that vampires have moved in and taken over their cinematic turf but zombies are in no way dead (which is kind of their thing) as they’ve migrated successfully to video games where we finally have the technology to kill them as brutally and as gleefully as possible.  “Zombieland” is that video game back to the big screen and it leaves tense, existential survival behind in favor of joyous, violent survival.

Sony Pictures has released a new international trailer for “Zombieland,” the Ruben Fleischer directed comedy/horror that hits theaters this October. This one’s a little longer than the original theatrical trailer, so you’ll get to see a few more zombies gored and a little more of the side characters played by Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. And more importantly, this one’s narrated by star Jesse Eisenberg himself, so it feels a little less like an excerpt from “Pushing Daisies.” Catch the new trailer after the jump.

Sony just released what I’m assuming is the teaser poster for their upcoming horror-comedy flick “Zombieland”.  I’m assuming it’s the teaser since it doesn’t feature stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin.  Of course, I would love it if this is the only poster we got because it looks great and we don’t have to worry about floating heads whether they be human or zombie.  But we don’t live in that world and unless you’re showcasing a major franchise or it’s an animated film, you got to have the stars on the one-sheet.  So just enjoy this delightful poster for now and be sure to check out Steve’s video blog about his visit to the set.

Hit the jump to see the poster.  “Zombieland” hits theatres on October 9th.

Back in March I visited the Atlanta set of “Zombieland” while production was in full swing. On set I was able to watch Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg fight a zombie in a supermarket, and I also saw Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin pull a shotgun on some people in a parking lot. Let’s just say it was a fun day.

Anyway, while there I was able to participate in an interview with Emma Stone (”Superbad”) and after the jump is the transcript. During the interview Emma talks carefully about her character, making the film, working with the rest of the cast, answers if she’ll be known as a scream queen after “Zombieland”, filming in Atlanta, and a lot more. Take a look:

As the creators of the short lived “Joe Schmo Show”, you’d never think of these two as the writers of a zombie movie. But sometimes when you want to shake up a genre, getting two outsiders is exactly what you need for success. And that’s what I think is going to happen later this year when Columbia Pictures releases “Zombieland” on October 9^th.

The film is written by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese and after the jump is a lot more info on the film, along with a very extensive interview with the two screenwriters. They talk about where the idea came from, what changes were made along the way, what are the rules in their zombie universe, how they got into writing, and they talk about the other projects they’re working on. It’s a great interview so take a look:

Back in March, Columbia Pictures invited Collider and a few other online sites to the set of director Rhett Reese’s “Zombieland”. The set visit took place just outside of Atlanta in an abandoned supermarket. While there, I got to see people getting turned into zombies in the makeup chair, interview the cast and filmmakers, and I also got to see Woody Harrelson use two chainsaws in the parking lot. But that’s a little ahead in the story…

As most of you know, I’ve been recording Video Blogs with Peter from Slashfilm. Since Peter and I both got invited, we recorded a video blog about what we saw and did on the set of “Zombieland” and it’s after the jump. Since I think reading pages and pages about what a set visit was like is boring, I’m excited to offer a more interactive experience. Also, you can watch the two of us try and explain our set visit while operating on zero sleep. It’s kind of funny.  Take a look:

AICN has just posted the first official images from director Ruben Fleischer’s “Zombieland”. Here’s the synopsis:

Jesse Eisenberg plays Columbus, a teenage who has made a habit of running from what scares him.  Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears.  If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass.  In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors.  But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all:  each other. The film also stars Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine).

Back when the film was still in production, I was able to visit the Atlanta set. While I can’t say much as I’m still under embargo, when I can write about the trip, it’s going to be a fun read. All of us had a lot of fun, and maybe some of us recorded a video blog about the set visit…

“Zombieland” will eat your brain on October 9th 2009.
