World War Z the Movie

Now I don't really like zombies all that much anymore as I used to, but I read World War Z, a book that is being turned into a movie.

And then they release this:

I'm laughing at how ridiculous it looks. As one poster stated: "Did? they take the term for "waves" of zombies literal?" :biggrin:

I stopped following the progress of the movie when I heard that it was going to portray the events "in real time" instead of as flashbacks and that the main character was going to be a hero rather than an anolyst after-the-fact. Completely changes the story, IMO. If it turns out to be good I'll take another look at it, but until then I've kind of lost interest.

Edit:
Those trailers don't even remotely resemble anything I remember from the book...? Yikes.

This is pretty much how I reacted to it. I stopped caring when it seemed to move to just another shoot-em-up with a single guy saving the world.

Ewww, they made them "fast zombies". And there is no sense of dread either. That's what I liked about many of the stories in the book, as well as other movies like 28 Days Later. I prefer a sense of dread over fire, endless shooting and people shouting.

That's not WWZ. At least not the book I love.

Looks as impressive as War of the Worlds.

Well if Brad Pitt wasnt enough to turn me off the movie, that trailer sure was.

Just looks like mindless crap, little more than an opportunity to capitalise on a popular title for the sake of giving Brad Pitt an action-hero role.
