Zombieland gets its Tallahassee

February 20th, 2013 by Marc Comments

 

Deadline are reporting that Kirk Ward has signed on to play Tallahassee in a TV version of Zombieland.

Tyler Ross, Izabela Vidovic and Maiara Walsh have already been confirmed as Columbus, Little Rock and Wichita respectively.

Planned for 30-minute episodes, the “television” version of “Zombieland” returns the franchise to its original concept of an ongoing serialized comedy adventure.

The original film, directed by Ruben Fleischer and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, starred Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin as a group of survivors trying to stay alive in the face of the zombie apocalypse. Ward’s role is the one played by Harrelson in the original film.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
