Holy cow, check out the guy really selling the zombie acting. Pretty cool. He goes from getting bitten to zombified and acting crazy in seconds. That… That.. would be pretty damned scary. I don’t see how “World War Z” is going to be accurate to the book, but it might not suck, and I’ll take that.

Thanks, Alicia for the find. Pretty cool.

The often rumored adaptation of Max Brook’s “World War Z” has some set pictures out now. Check these out. It looks like they are shooting scenes for the portion of the book that takes place in Israel.

Personally I’m holding out for the battle for Yonkers part of the novel. That’s probably the most pivotal and cinematic part of the book. Can’t wait for this movie to come out.

Thanks to Alicia for the information.

News Blatantly stolen from The Independent.

The film rights to author Max Brooks’ zombie book World War Z have been bought by Brad Pitt to be adapted for his production company Plan B, MTV reported. Pitt also plans to act in the film. The movie is planned for release during summer 2012.

Begin the zombpocalypse!!!

I read this book and have to say it was pretty enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to seeing it made into a movie. Not sure how they’re going to do it considering how the book is almost entirely made of “Flashbacks” but they’ve already got my money so I’m there.

News and Tidbits about where this movie is at:

The good news is that the studio renewed the option. The better news is that it was done “for half the time and twice the money,” Brooks told Fearnet. Paramount is very serious about the project and not interested in throwing away all the work that has already been done.

Brookes continued: “We still got our director, Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace), who’s raring to go. Were all waiting on Matt Carnahan’s new draft, which should come in a month or so. Once that comes in then I think it probably will have to be tweaked and brought to the studio but we’re sort of zeroing in on that moment where Paramount has to say yes or no.”

“World War Z” is about a worldwide infestation of flesh-eating zombies. The book is a detailed tale in which a researcher for the UN Postwar Commission interviews survivors from countries all over the world, 10 years after the crisis, to gather a first-person post-mortem on a war that obliterated every country on the map.

Yes this trailer for “World War Z” is fake. It’s spliced together from various other zombie movies and even clips from “Left 4 Dead.” Still it’s done pretty well and I think it shows the excitement that any rumor over this movie generates. Zombie goodness wakka wakka!
