Originally pitched as a television series in the early 2000s, *Zombieland* was ultimately reconceived as a feature film. Join us as we trace the project's unusual journey from rejected TV pilot, to…
As always, we'll begin with...
Causative Trauma Yeah.
it because of the way i worded it was that what i was
waiting for the because
the walking dead
oh oops
there is zombie porn that's a thing there
is porn for everything yeah i know yeah um
with makeup not necrophilia
you don't spend enough time on the black web
the black one i think maybe you don't either based on what you're just called it
No, you have a special different one.
Where you're watching all your necroporn? Because I
You went to
Black Market to watch some Redbox? This is where you find out that Krista is actually from a parallel universe? I think
I'm done.
What are we, 10 minutes in? Necrophilia? Great job, guys.
No zombie TV shows is the point.
And yes, worth keeping in mind, this movie came out in 2009.
The Walking Dead premiered in 2010.
So this is the summer of 2005.
And maybe because there was no precedent for this sort of thing on television, every network that they pitched it to passed on it, except CBS.
And that original pilot, the script for it, it has a lot in common with the first hour of the film.
Columbus meets Tallahassee, they team up, they hit the road, and it ends with the sisters robbing them.
