"Zombieland" co-writer/executive producer Rhett Reese took to Twitter to vent a bit upon hearing the news that Amazon will not be moving forward with the series. While reviews were definitely mixed, he seemed to place the blame on fans of the film who refused to embrace the concept.
Here are Reese's comments:
Our Zombieland series will not be moving forward on Amazon. Sad for everyone involved.
I'll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.
Anyway, we did our best, and we're very proud of our team.

Miley Cyrus is one lucky girl! Her fiancée Liam positively smolders in this new still from ‘Catching Fire’, as he looks super sexy playing Gale.
Mockingjays get excited! A new still from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was released on April 12, and Liam Hemsworth sure looks good! In this new pic, fans can see Gale being dragged away by the Peacekeepers — perhaps being sexy is considered a crime — and boy does he look good!
‘Catching Fire’ Still Shows Sexy Gale
Be still my beating heart, because Liam looks great in this still from the sequel to The Hunger Games!
Liam, 23, will have a much bigger part in the second installment of the hit franchise, as he, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) fight against the Capitol in this dystopian drama.
It’s going to be so good!
In another new still, Katniss is seen comforting a sad Prim.

Let the (filming of the) Hunger Games begin! Or, well, continue! Lionsgate has released the final eleven Tributes cast in Catching Fire, and we are delighted by how many of them have worked primarily as stunt people. Based on their IMDb pages, new cast members like Jackson Spidell, Elena Sanchez and Bobby Jordan are predominately stunt actors, with extensive stunt credits to their name, on everything from The Expendables 2 to Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, The Watch to 21 Jump Street. It makes us rub our hands together in anticipation of some truly excellent action sequences. Having a trident hurled through your chest, Anchorman-style, perhaps? Being savaged by mutant monkeys, anyone? We’re sure their acting will be similarly excellent; you don’t snag Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amanda Plummer for your film just to blow it with a wooden tribute from District 5. This isn’t community theater here!
