Zombieland 2 is now out to purchase on home media here in the UK and to celebrate we thought it would be useful to collect together all the rules from the franchise in case we need them for a zombie apocalypse. NB- In the original trailers some of these rules were assigned different numbers- the numbers listed are how they appear in the film.

Michael Giacchino is one of Hollywood's most in demand composers who has worked on massive franchises like Planet of the Apes, Star Trek and huge studios like Pixar and Marvel. He's next big project is the score for Matt Reeves' The Batman .

It may seem odd that it took so long for a live-action film to be made but when you consider the books ar...
