Tongue-in-lacerated-cheek post-apocalyptic comedies that work don’t come along too often, which is why the Zombieland 2 Double Tap DVD, Blu-ray and digital release date (UK details below) was worth penciling into your “dear broken world” diary. It’s got a great cast and builds on the success of the first film, so it should be one to catch either to buy, rent or stream on iTunes and Amazon Prime Video.
Jessie Eisenberg (Batman vs. Superman: Dawn Of Justice) was the lead character for Zombieland, but this time around it looks like the focus will be shot gun spread across the four main characters, as you can see from the poster for the film above. In all fairness the first movie had similar imagery of the cast in the posters, but the story itself was led by Eisenberg’s Columbus character, who managed to bring the group together after a number of zombie near misses.

They’re joined by new additions to the Zombieland cast with Rosario Dawson (Wonder Woman: Bloodlines), Zooey Deutch, Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch getting in on the survivor action.
The plot picks up with the four of them not long after the last-ditch escape from Pacific Playground amusement park. Now even tougher zombie-slayers, they manage to take the White House, but as with any semi-functional family setup there’s bound to be a few challenges in the early days and when Little Rock goes awol with a hippie hitchhiker they all need to saddle up and head out on a roadtrip to save her. However, with a new mutant zombie type to take on and other survivors out in the wilderness it’s going to push them to the edge of their double-tapping rules.

It was available to own it first with the digital release on iTunes and Amazon Video where it was available a couple of weeks earlier, so Monday 10th February 2020. The digital rental followed with a release on the same date as the DVD and Blu-ray, and it’s still available on iTunes to-date.

It was be up against Farmageddon A Shaun the Sheep Movie and Maleficent 2 for the box office crown in the UK, which are both out in the same week. ZL2 should do pretty well, but we’re expecting Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil to take the #1 spot.
