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.
I only worry that they might make it too much of a zombie movie. What I mean by that, is in the book you rarely saw the zombies. Instead they provided the background and history to what was more of a human drama showing the different ways people reacted to the crisis. Some pulling together and some turning against fellow man. It seems more of a drama or study in humanity, then a horror movie. If they go for zombies everywhere and jump out at you cheap scares, it could really ruin the story.
Im with ladybelle i have a feeling their going to try to make it more of dawn of the dead
EEEEEE!!! They really started filming it! I’m all giddy. Ah there is no way they can NOT do the battle yonkers. Its such a memorable moment in the book. Ah that part of the audio book was also amazing. I can not wait for that zombie film but I really think it would make a better HBO mini series then a single movie there is just so much to cram into it
The third picture kinda reminds me of the border crossing scene from children of men.
I dont know, there were plenty of zombies in the book, it was just that the book didn’t fixate on throwing intestines at the audience (which kills most zombie movies for me).
What I liked best about the novel was the part about reclaiming the overrun world and building a new society.
Im kinda afraid they culd mess up some of my favorit parts (Yonkers, the Japanes it nerd and the harbor in India), its a very high risk to me.
One final thought: Max Brooks, you sai you hope to make this the “Lord of the Ring of the zombie genre”. You better be delivering on that or I will come after you!
Wasn’t the book broken into three or more parts? Would be great if they did a series of movies with each part like LOTR instead of cramming everything into one movie. I realize the Ring books were a series not a single novel, but it could be handled in the same manner.
The book was basically an Anthology. I have no idea how that’s going to translate to a single movie.
Maybe your right they should treat each section like a whole movie and make a bunch of them. I’m always in favor of more zombie movies to look forward too.
No problem! 😀
Yet again i agree with ladybelle make it into 3 or 4 different movies
The worst is over finally. One more busy wekeend left in the year and then it’s back to normal craziness! I hope your holiday season was a good one Liz and at the very least, a tasty one. I should learn to bake, maybe it would help smooth over the holiday rough spots.
