Behold what appears to be the trailer for Amazon’s Zombieland pilot. We’re worried that this whole Amazon making its own television idea is about to get off to a very, very rocky start. Give it a whirl, and you’ll see what we mean. More »

Zombieland the movie was released back in 2009. It is safe to say that the movie was a hit. Its fans will no doubt be happy to hear that a Zombieland TV series may come to life on Amazon Prime, provided that enough viewers like the pilot to warrant the production of an entire TV series. The service is moving in to production of original content, much like its rivals Hulu and Netflix. Amazon Studios will be producing 13 pilots, seven comedy and six for children, and it will ultimately be up to Amazon Prime viewers to decide which of these pilots will bite the dust.
Amazon has not given a release date for these pilots, only adds that they will be coming soon. Along with Zombieland, the six comedy pilots include Alpha House, Browsers, Dark Minions, Onion News Empire, Supanatural and Those Who Can’t. The six pilots aimed for children are The Untitled J.J. Johnson Project, Creative Galaxy, Teeny Tiny Dogs, Oz Adventures, Tumbleaf and Sara Solves It. Amazon believes that adding original content will make Prime more enticing for users, can’t say I don’t agree with them on that.

Before Jesse Eisenberg was known for playing Facebook’s quirky founder, he starred with Woody Harrelson in a delightfully campy film called Zombieland. That film is apparently being adapted for the little screen — well, perhaps not so little, but littler — by none other than Amazon Studios, the in-house team created to produce original content on Amazon’s Instant streaming service, reports Broadcast Now. It’s not clear just how far along the series is, but io9 did discover some casting pages which reveal the plot: “the show will center around the original group of post apocalyptic survivors.” Presumably that means more Twinkie references, more awkward romance, and a ton more comical zombie killing. That is, of course, if the early casting sheets are indicative of what the final show ends up being. Regardless, we’ve reached out to Amazon for more info, and we’ve dropped some of the film’s best parts just below the break.
