Director Ruben Fleischer and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick discuss those Bill Murray, Thomas Middleditch and Luke Wilson cameos in 'Zombieland 2: Double Tap.'
Spoiler warning: The following story reveals some surprise elements of “Zombieland 2: Double Tap.” Do not read before seeing the movie if you want to keep all the secrets unspoiled.
But Murray’s attempt at pranking Columbus backfires and he is accidentally killed, limiting his cameo potential for the sequel.“There is no world of ‘Zombieland’ without Bill Murray,” Wernick said. “So we thought, how do you top a Bill Murray cameo in the first movie? You put him in the second one.” “People always ask us whether we write these jokes where actors make fun of their previous projects like Ryan Reynolds does with ‘Green Lantern’ and Bill Murray did with ‘Garfield,’ ” Reese, who also co-wrote both “Deadpool” films with Wernick, added. “The answer is we would never have the guts to do that. Those jokes come from the actors themselves and then we just riff off that.”
The part was conceived as a zombie, but he agreed to the role with the caveat that it be fleshed out. “Originally Rhett had written a ‘Ghostbusters’ cameo,” Wernick said. “It was Bill on a golf course with Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis and they’re trying to convince him to do ‘Ghostbusters 3.’ And then the zombie apocalypse breaks out and he’s forced to use the tools of the golf course to survive and fight off his fellow ‘Ghostbusters’ cast who are now all zombies. This was obviously pre-'Ghostbusters 3'” and Ramis’ death in 2014.
Flagstaff and Albuquerque were the original drafted names for Columbus and Tallahassee, but after deciding to film in Georgia rather than the Southwest they were renamed to make more sense geographically. That backstory makes the scene an even bigger Easter egg, in addition to supplying one of the funniest moments in the movie.
