It's time to nut-up or shut-up Zombieland fans...
Red band is the snuff film of modern movie trailer promotion. It's the material no sane theater chain would ever let you see while chucking down handfuls of watermelon Sour Patch Kids with the family. In fact I'm still wondering why these red band trailers even exist. The general population won't see them. The people that do watch them are probably already 90% invested in seeing the red banded movie anyway. So who are these adult trailers for? Men and women so heartless and peeled of a human conscious that regular old "family style" movie previews aren't hardcore enough to get them to leave their dungeons and serial killer vans for the 90 minutes it'll take to watch a movie with the rest of us normals? Nah. Probably not.
Here's the new "Adults Only" Zombieland trailer:
Trailer Critique: Zombieland still looks like the one and only horror movie to see this Fall. Sure I'll be checking out The Box and Pandorum but my heart lies in the territory of Zombieland. It's like someone built the ultimate fictional playground for Woody Harrelson and then gave him the keys to the raucous kingdom. It's easy to forget that we all share a collective man-crush on Woody Harrelson. Guys, it might be more of a buddy crush if that helps you sleep better at night. He's just so uncomplicated and charming. Hand him a gun and an army of cheap one-liners and I don't care if the film's got zombies, strippers, Jesse Eisenberg and chainsaws, it'll be worth eight bucks to watch it all go down.
The film definitely looks like a die-hard zombie flick. The red band really threw on the meat sauce on this outing. We also get a bit more salty language on this two minute run through. My favorite being when Eisenberg calls Harrelson a "giant cock-blocking robot".... Nice.
It's heartening to see that the American horror machine can still produce something worth putting in theaters instead of the usual run of frat-house slasher shenanigans. Zombieland does look like shenanigans - but good shenanigans.
