Posted by dominie in Films, News on August 27th, 2008

The Hollywood Reporter announced that Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers) is the first to be cast in the upcoming zombie comedy, Zombieland, from Columbia Pictures. Harrelson plays the character, Albuquerque, one of two survivors of the human race who find “friendship and redemption” as they battle through a world ravaged by the undead.

Newcomer Ruben Fleischer (Jimmy Kimmel Live) will direct the film whose screenplay was written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the pair behind The Joe Schmo Show and William Shatner’s reality show Invasion Iowa. Production of the film was first mentioned in December of last year and with Woody now on board, it will be exciting to see how the remaining cast fills.
