Update: ZOMBIELAND 2 Will Be Shot In Native 3D And Released By 2012

**UPDATE: Feb 9 - Added a great interview (MTV Movies Blog) with the writers of ZOMBIELAND 1 and 2, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick - check it out at the end of the post...

Jim here. Jack Giroux over at The Film Stage had a chance to speak with the director of the upcoming sequel ZOMBIELAND 2, Ruben Fleischer recently. We already knew that the movie would be in S3D, but here are some more details for you:

What’s going on with the sequel?
Ruben Fleischer: We’re in the writing process and it’s a thing all of the cast is excited to do. As soon as we get the story together we’re going to go make it. It’s going to be in 3D and hopefully we’ll be shooting as soon as possible.

Will you be using 3D cameras or will the 3D be done in post?
Ruben Fleischer: 3D cameras.

What do you think 3D will add to the sequel?
Ruben Fleischer: Well if you just think about the first movie there’s some amazing shots that would look even better in 3D. With the woman flying through the windshield or the zombies getting smashed by that giant ride. There’s already tons of cool things in there that would have been great in 3D. You can only imagine how cool those shots could be.

Do you know when you’ll go into production or is that all still up in there air?
Ruben Fleischer: We gotta get the script done and we’ll figure it out from there. The script is not done yet.

So do you think we’ll see Zombieland 2 in either 2011 or 2012?
Ruben Fleischer: Yeah.

So hopefully it will be out in 2011 (IMDb has it listed as such). Man, this is one horror comedy that I can't wait to see! It is a PERFECT match for S3D. Thanks to The Film Stage for the update.
