Zombieland: Where Zombies and Woody Roam

So, everyone in creation (or the blog version of it) is posting the new trailer for Zombieland (US-2009; dir. Ruben Fleischer) — and who am I to buck the trend? The film is a zombie comedy — or an end-of-the-world thriller with comedic elements — which is inevitably being identified with Shaun of the Dead, though the broad American Ol’ Boy humour of the trailer (Scifi Wire describes it as an “Apatowish slacker sensibility”) positions it some distance from Shaun‘s low-key, ironic Britishness. Anyway, Zombieland looks both slickly mainstream and funny (assuming you like its particular style of humour) and represents an interesting “popcorn” trend in zombie films.
