ZOMBIELAND 2 is Apparently Still in Development

Nearly seven years after Zombieland was released, Zombieland 2 is still in development at Sony Pictures. Man, the studio really won't let this idea die, will they? (Pun totally intended.)

Original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who are riding high from the success of Deadpool right now, spoke on The Q&A Podcast about how they're still attached to a sequel:

“It’s actually still in development at Sony, they’ve had a couple writers take a crack at it, we’re still exec producers and we’re guiding and helping where we can and I think there’s still very much talk about it, but I think it has to be right. I think all the actors and [Zombieland director] Ruben [Fleischer] all feel like there’s no reason to do it again if we’re not getting it exactly right.”

I thought the first movie was enjoyable, but I definitely haven't been clamoring for a sequel — frankly, it's one of those movies that I haven't thought about very much at all since I first saw it. The Expendables writer David Callaham was hired to write Zombieland 2 a couple of years ago, after a failed attempt to turn the property into a TV series at Amazon.

It's probably better to just leave this would-be franchise as a single original movie and move on to something else, especially now that so much time has passed. But maybe that's just me. Do you agree, or would you be happy seeing a Zombieland sequel make it to the big screen?
