Columbia Pictures presents the U.S. No. 1 hit “Zombieland,” an action-comedy that focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies.
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a big wuss – but when you’re afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) is an AK-totin’, zombie-slayin’ badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.
Helming the project is music video director Ruben Fleischer, who makes his feature film directorial debut. “First and foremost, `Zombieland’ is a comedy, a road movie. It’s obviously got a horror element to it, and there’s romance as well. I was excited because of all the different aspects of the film, and my goal was to keep it grounded and strike just the right tone.”
Fleischer says that he was excited for the challenge of directing the film – after all, “as a first time director, every scene was something I’d never done before. On my first day, we were killing zombies, and soon after, we were shooting in a giant mansion. Every day was a new experience. But the core is the same: you start with a script and you think about how you envision it, but it really comes to life when you get the actors and the crew – they make it look spectacular.”
Opening soon across the Philippines , “Zombieland” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Visit www.sonypictures.com.ph to see the latest trailers, get free downloads and play free movie games.
Megan Fox plays it wickedly sexy in the upcoming teen horror comedy “Jennifer’s Body” as the titular character who became a man-eater after a horrifying incident with her favorite local rock band.
Written by Oscar® winner Diablo Cody, “Jennifer’s Body” is about a small town high school student Jennifer (Fox), who is possessed by a hungry demon. She transitions from being “high school evil” – gorgeous, stuck up and ultra-attitudinal – to the real deal evil. The glittering beauty becomes a pale and sickly creature jonesing for a meaty snack, and guys who never stood a chance with the heartless babe, take on new luster in the light of Jennifer’s insatiable appetite. Meanwhile, Jennifer’s lifelong best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried), long relegated to living in Jennifer’s shadow, must step-up to protect the town’s young men, including her nerdy boyfriend Chip (Johnny Simmons).
