Another young actor is joining a Woody Harrelson movie! Earlier came news of Kat Dennings joining Defendor; now it looks like The Squid and the Whale's Jesse Eisenberg is signing on to Zombieland:

[Eisenberg] is in final talks to join Woody Harrelson in Columbia Pictures horror comedy "Zombieland," about a mismatched pair of survivors who find friendship and redemption in a world overrun by zombies.

Eisenberg is in negotiations to 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 Harrelson.

Wait, being a terrified shut-in makes you adept at surviving a zombie apocalypse? If that's the case, then I'm a regular... Fifth Element in Resident Evil? I don't know. Someone who's good at surviving zombie attacks. Because I'm a fearful hermit.

I don't think that analogy applies. The reason why she survived is because she was the Fifth Element. You're more like a fifth wheel.
