ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP
Starz!, 8:00 p.m. ET
In 2009, Zombieland was a sort of surprise hit: an apocalyptic zombie film that was as funny as it was eccentric – and which featured Bill Murray as himself, an unlikely (albeit temporary) survivor in this imagined dystopian future. tarred Same director and writers. Woody Harrelson starred as Tallahassee, and Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus – two hardy souls with their own lists of rules for survival – and the non-zombies they encountered while roaming the desolate landscape included, most prominently, Emma Stone as Wichita and Abigail Breslin as Little Rock. All four are back for this 2019 sequel, which picks up the story, and the same quartet of quirky characters, a decade later. New faces for Zombieland: Double Tap include Rosario Dawson as Nevada – and the only question, if you tune in to watch the Starz premiere of this movie, is whether watching a film about a post-apocalyptic struggle for survival is really an effective piece of stuck-at-home weekend entertainment.
