Woody Harrelson is doing a zombie movie. It’s called Zombieland and it’s probably safe to assume you don’t want to ride the Tea Cups.

It’s more of a horror comedy really, being made by Ruben Fleischer for Columbia Pictures. I wonder if he’s seen Shaun of the Dead? I thought that pretty much had the zombie comedy genre covered. Is there really room for another entry?

Woody Harrelson seems to think so, since according to HR he’s signed up to play one of the movie’s male leads, a zombie slayer named Albuquerque. You think he’s ever been to New Mexico? Probably not. People named after places on a map almost never seem to actually be from those places. If you live in Dallas and your name is Dallas, well that’s just not cool. On the other hand if you live in Toronto and your name is Columbine, you’ll seem dangerous and cool. Just don’t wear a black trenchcoat.

In general, the movie is about a pair of incompatible people who survive the zombie apocalypse and build a relationship in a world with more than its fair share of the living dead. No word yet on who will play the second survivor. I’m hoping for Wesley Snipes or maybe Rhea Perlman.
