Trailer “sneak peek” for World War Z, full trailer is due out this Thursday.
If I tell myself that this is just some random zombie movie with nothing to do with the book, I might be able to get through it. Otherwise, between the hyperspeed undead and the fact that they’re still apparently mid-apocalypse, I’m sad to say I’m not too interested and it might just be rentable. They seriously screwed the pooch on this one.

Really? I dont know, say what you want Pitt does a decent job as an actor and I dont know how you would make that book into a movie, it really didnt flow with a major protagonist etc.
Fucking zombies movies. Fuck them all.

Oh I have no problem with Pitt as an actor. He’s grown on me like DeCaprio - They can pull off funny, action, drama, whatever. But they did screw up the idea behind the book. He’s supposed to be playing the guy who (in the book) is the “narrator” who’s going around interviewing the survivors.
I think a film version of the book would’ve translated much better if they did mini-segments/“episodes” throughout the movie, kinda like Pulp Fiction. Tell each character’s story as more of a standalone piece, but loosely tied together.

Good point. Will wait until see full trailer, plus has there been a “fast” zombie movie?

The Resident Evil franchise has fast zombies. 28 Days/Weeks Later were also essentially fast zombies even though they weren’t dead/undead.

True but those both were more “viral” issues but so is World War Z also.

Yeah, 28 Days Later was pretty much the first big screen flick to use the fast zombie idea. Off the top of my head, the Dawn of the Dead remake and Zombieland also had them.

I’m not sure if it’s the first fast zombie movie, but Nightmare City is one of the earliest (and worst):
They also use guns. Don’t be dazzled by style, though: a more apt title would be Attack of the Poopy Heads, with the make up team apparently being ordered to go to work on the cast with a big bag of shit.

Return of the living dead 1985 would be the first mainstream fast zombie film, they also talk and cannot be killed at all.

Possible trilogy so we might get the after effects of the war like in the book. I wish a film would take the approach of Z with stories about the war and the ptsd that the war has caused

ROTLD is one of my favorite movies (Dan O’Bsnnon FTW). Nightmare City predates it by five years.
How about a mass of fast moving zombies??

I wonder how Brooks feels about this his books are slow movers they get you in numbers and emotion. In fact in his interviews he prefers slow walkers not the meth zombies
The shark she has been jumped. Twilight meets zombies awesome necrophilia

That’s from a few years ago, but I can’t imagine his opinion changed all that much. I think Paramount and/or Plan B (Brad Pitt’s production company) fully bought the movie rights to the book, and they went through a few screenwriters to end up with this finished product. I’m wondering if Brooks is under any kind of gag order as part of selling the rights. Unless my Google-fu is weak, I can’t find any recent interviews with him regarding the movie.
From the full trailer, it looks good enough. I just still can’t wrap my head around it being at all related to, or derived from, the book. It’s like turning Derek Jeter’s autobiography into a movie starring Jack Black.

Looks pretty badass.
