"Zombieland" is a 2009 American post-apocalyptic zombie comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as survivors of a zombie apocalypse.

The film follows a college kid making his way through the zombie apocalypse, meeting three strangers along the way and together taking an extended road trip in an attempt to find a sanctuary free from zombies.

The veteran American actor Bill Murray (b. 1950) appears as a fictionalized version of himself in the film, still living in his Los Angeles home and regularly disguising himself as a zombie to travel around the area. The cameo role was originally written for Patrick Swayze, but he was battling pancreatic cancer at the time and was too sick to make it to set.

Although Bill Murray might not have been the casting director's first choice for a cameo, he does a good job of making fun of himself. Bill gives a self-deprecating performance which culminates in a crazy death scene.

"Zombieland" was one of the happy surprises of 2009, as a comedy with a fair amount of heart and also tons of good old fashioned zombie killing. The film was a critical and commercial success, surpassing the 2004 film "Dawn of the Dead" as the top-grossing zombie film in the United States at the time. A sequel, "Zombieland: Double Tap", was released in 2019.
