Fourth time working with Pitt actually. Everyone forgets about Benjamin Button.

I wish they would just redo othe first instead. I cannot think of a better example of the quality of the book being such a direct inverse of the quality of the movie.
The movie fricking sucked and I hate that it exists.

Never saw the first one, but would totally look forward to this.

The first one gets a lot of crap but I enjoyed it

It wasn't a bad movie at all. It just had very little in common with the book besides it was about zombies

You can't adapt the book into a movie. It would have to be a miniseries.

It was good for what it was. I think it gets a lot of hate because it is not World War Z; its Brad Pitt Saves the World. They should have named the movie that and removed any ties to the novel.

I loved the first one, even though I know most hated it.

It's not bad, it just would have been a LOT better staying closer to the source material, as opposed to the only thing in common with the book being the name.
Especially considering the original approach was closer, but the studio nixed it because it was considered too dark. Ever wondered why Micheal Fox was one of the helicopter rescuers and then disappears for the rest of the movie?

Explain this. How was the original idea different from what we got?

Agree with most in this thread. The first one wasn't bad, per se, but just so completely different than what people were expecting. Although the literal tidal wave of zombies was fricking laughably awful.
I also agree that a miniseries would be perfect, but we aren't getting that. So it could be done in the movie, but it would just have to focus on the better segments of the book.
Is it too much to ask that I can get some goddamn Yonkers onscreen? Also always thought seeing the Louisiana one (set in the Atchafalaya Basin) would be pretty sweet, but I am obviously biased on that.

Yeah, the book World War Z was great.
The movie World War Z was pretty good.
Other than a few loose ideas they had nothing in common. It wasn't even the same zombie archetype between the two.

I think it could have worked as a movie if set up similar to Contagion. Obviously a lot would still have to be cut, but it could have worked.

It wouldn't fix all of the complaints people had, but at least it's a story that stands on its own better, than the fricking camouflage storyline.
