Zombieland: Double Tap director Ruben Fleischer has opened up about the reason behind the 10-year gap between movies, saying that the creative team "couldn’t figure out the right story to tell."

The filmmaker, who made his feature-length directorial debut with Zombieland a decade ago, revealed that the script-writing process for the sequel took some time, as they wanted to make sure that it was worth reuniting the zombie-slaying squad for a second outing.

"I think we all wanted to stretch our legs a little bit and try different things," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I think we were all excited to do other stuff.

For those unaware, OnLive was the first game-streaming service of note. It’s now gone the way of the dodo, but the idea was as straightforward then as it is today for surviving services: instant on. No need to physically own a game. No need for a high-end PC or the latest console. Just a compatible device and a high-speed internet connection.

The catch is that game-streaming services require adequate, stable bandwidth to be playable.
