"I feel so lucky, really, really lucky," Harrelson told Entertainment Weekly way back in March amid SXSW festivities of rejoining the Zombieland universe a full decade after the original. "You know, it's literally laughing all day long, and that's your job. Like, my job is, I laugh all day long? It seems unbelievable."

Director Ruben Fleischer—who followed up the original Zombieland with 30 Minutes or Less and Venom, among other projects—is also back for Double Tap. Returning cast members Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Bill Murray, and Abigail Breslin are joined in the cult hit continuation by universe newcomers including Rosario Dawson and Dan Aykroyd.

For added hype, here's the synopsis, straight from Sony:

In the sequel, written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and Dave Callaham, through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

In short, there's no fucking way this won't be good, right?
