Zombieland 2 Is Alive

Long thought dead Sony Pictures is bringing Zombieland 2 back to life--hiring Dave Callaham ("Godzilla," "The Expendables") to write it says Deadline.

Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer is expected to return to direct the sequel and will supervise the writing. Callaham's script for the upcoming darkly comic adaptation of author Jo Nesbø's novel "Jackpot" brought the writer to the attention of the suits and got him involved in "Zombieland 2".

It's unknown at this point if stars Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin will return.
