On the heels of the hot genre action-comedy Zombieland, it's no surprise a sequel has been discusssed, although it seems the sequel could happen in all three dimensions. Moviehole recently spoke to Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer, who revealed that they were discussing a sequel to the film in 3-D.
But the most interesting development? Fleischer says the next film will likely be 3-D - yep, mother-hopping three-dimensional Woody vs. Zombie action!!
Believing "the genre really lends itself to [3-D]", and convinced - via what we're hearing and seeing of Avatar - the technology is now there, Fleischer's very keen to throw a few zombie gizzards in our direction. "Dead" cool, right!?
Fleischer also said that his primary cast - Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin - would return in the sequel, although it may take awhile since they haven't "cracked" the story yet.

Meet Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller): a dysfunctional 40-year-old at a crossroads in his life.

Aubrey Plaza Is One of the Funny People
22 hours ago
The rising comedic star talks about this new DVD, Parks and Recreation, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and more.
Around this time last year, I was reading up on Judd Apatow's new directorial effort, Funny People, since I was going to be visiting the set of the film. Among the huge names in the film was a newcomer named Aubrey Plaza, and, if the newcomers in Apatow's previous two films were any indication (See: Jonah Hill and Charlene Yi), I figured this young comedienne was surely on a pretty damn good path. Of course, that was before we knew her as the hilariously deadpan April Ludgate on the wonderful NBC comedy Parks and Recreation and the actress also has the highly-anticipated Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World coming up as well. I recently had the chance to speak with Aubrey Plaza for the new Funny People DVD and Blu-ray release »

Ron Clements and John Musker, directors of the very successful 2D Disney films The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Hercules, were brought in to write and direct Disney's first new, hand-drawn, family musical in almost five years, The Princess and the Frog, opening in theaters on November 25th. The film takes a slightly different look at the classic fairy tale, now set in turn-of-the-century New Orleans, featuring a multi-cultural cast and a Princess who also becomes a frog.
