Vulture:

Combining zombie action, intelligent comedy, quirky romance, and an extended Bill Murray cameo, the film — written by the pair and directed by Ruben Fleischer — was a surprise smash, earning $102.4 million on a $23.6 million budget. It starred Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as common folks on the run in a post-apocalyptic America, teaming up with a crazed survivalist played by Woody Harrelson. It left the door open for a sequel, one that fans — and cast members — have clamored for ever since. And, according to Reese and Wernick, it looks like they might not have to wait much longer.

“We’re going on the tenth anniversary of Zombieland,“ Wernick tells Vulture. “Zombieland came out October of 2009. We don’t know what you get someone for their tenth anniversary, but it may be a Zombieland 2.“ Though he hedged with that “may be,“ it seems like it’s not so far from a “will be.“ “The hope is that we’re shooting that thing early 2019 for an October of ’19 release,“ Wernick added — then tossed in even more good news for devotees: “With the original cast, by the way.“

At the same time, I ask - too little too late, here? The original Zombieland was great, but it feels like lightning in a bottle. Maybe I’m being too cynical here.
