Jesse Eisenberg is in final talks to join Sony Pictures horror comedy "Zombieland" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Ruben Fleischer directs Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick's story of a mismatched pair of survivors who find friendship and redemption in a world overrun by zombies.

Eisenberg will play Flagstaff, a terrified shut-in whose cowardice makes him an expert at surviving the zombies but who is forced out of his shell to join the band of survivors, which includes Woody Harrelson.
