Eisenberg was at SXSW in Austin in order to promote his most recent release, dark comedy The Art of Self Defense, and was asked about the progress of Zombieland: Double Tap. While he wasn’t able to go in detail, he did say that the entire crew is working really hard to deliver fans what they want.

“It’s going really well,” Eisenberg told Movie Web when asked about Zombieland sequel. “Just resting on our laurels and really cocky [laughs]. No, the opposite. We’re working so hard. It’s one of these movies that, people loved it for personal reasons. So it’s not just a big hit movie. People love it for personal reasons so you want to make sure it’s as funny and as personal as the other one.”

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Zombieland was a surprise commercial hit while being well received by the critics. It starred Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as survivors of a zombie apocalypse who join forces on a dangerous road trip across the Southwestern United States.

After years of rumors and conflicting news, Harrelson confirmed in May 2018 that the sequel is planned with original cast and director making their return. The news was officially confirmed in July, with October 11, 2019, set as a release date.

Besides the original cast, Zombieland 2 will also see Ruben Fleischer returning as a director while Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese will pen the script once again.

The original Zombieland movie revolved around a virus outbreak that turned most of the humans on the planet into bloodthirsty zombies. Four strangers who managed to survive this zombie apocalypse decide to join their forces and try to reach safe heaven together.

The movie ended up receiving positive reviews from the critics and earning $102.4 million compared to its $23.6 million budget. Over time, the film gained cult status.

“This is one of those projects that fans have wanted to see happen for a long time — and no one wanted to see it happen more than Emma, Woody, Jesse and Abigail,” said Columbia Pictures president Sanford Panitch in a statement.

“These are some of the most in-demand actors, and I think they are making this movie because they love these characters. We are thrilled Ruben was willing to come back to direct the sequel, as his work on Venom has been truly amazing.”

According to the press release from the studio, Zombieland 2 will “focus on comic mayhem, taking the quartet from the White House to the American heartland as they face off against new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors.”

The movie will also see Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock facing the “growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.”
