Here’s a plot summary: through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Jesse Eisenberg paid a visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers and talked all about his film The Art of Self-Defense.
The 35-year-old actor dished about working with different dog breeds on the set of the film and his one-on-one time with an actual pet psychic.
“She claimed to be, and of course I’m skeptical of all things like that because I’m normal,” Jesse recalled. “And then, she pulled through – she talked to the dog and the dog responded. It was like an unbelievable experience. It was one of those things where if you’re a cynical person, it’s one of those things that chips away at your bedrock of jadedness.”
Jesse also talked about keeping his costumes from the films he’s worked on. “I just save everything on the off chance I’ll need it,” he said.
Jesse Eisenberg stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (July 15) and dished all about his new film, The Art of Self-Defense!
“It takes the sports movie genre and kind of twists it on its head to be like a brilliant satire on masculinity,” the 35-year-old actor told Jimmy.
“My character is this kind of like meek timid guy who gets attacked on the street so I sign up for this karate class to learn self-defense,” Jesse continued. “The movie just turns into this bizarre satire on like cults and this absurdity on crazed masculinity.”
Jesse Eisenberg also revealed how Woody Harrelson introduced Emma Stone to rock star pals like Paul McCartney, and he debuts his very limited edition action figure.

Jesse Eisenberg made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday night (March 11) and dished all about his upcoming play with Susan Sarandon called Happy Talk!
“It’s a drama, Susan Sarandon plays this woman that is kind of a diva of the New Jersey theater scene,” the 35-year-old actor-writer explained. “A woman who is trying to get her papers for her documentation to become a citizen asks for her help to get married.”
“It’s about immigration but also musical theater and it’s peppered with the most obscure musical theater references, which I thought would not be appealing to anybody until I saw your show,” Jesse added, referring to Seth‘s series Documentary Now.
