It was revealed last month that Amazon is making plans to turn Ruben Fleischer’s 2009 horror comedy Zombieland into a streaming series and, now, Deadline has learned two of the actors that will be joining the central four-person cast. Tyler Ross (Milkshake) will play Columbus and relative newcomer Izabela Vidovic will play Little Rock.
The original film, written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, starred Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as a group of survivors trying to stay alive in the face of the zombie apocalypse. Ross and Vidovic’s roles are those originally played by Eisenberg and Breslin, respectively.
Planned for 30-minute episodes, the “television” version of Zombieland returns the franchise to its original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure.
