World War Z going forward

another zombie movie?

I actually thought this would be about The Lost City of Z for some reason, which is also supposed to star pitt (even though it's not on imdb, so I guess it's a dubious claim at best) and which I'd be a lot more excited for.

I'm sure it is, just seem like the whole zombie thing is getting played out by now.

Agreed with the book being a really fun read. Looking forward to this potential movie.

I thought it was overrated. Cool concept though, and well-written. Loved the part (obviously) about the one chick who crash-landed in the Atchafalaya Basin. That was cool. I hope that makes it into the movie. And obviously people want to see Yonkers play out on a movie screen.

That's a pretty solid list of movies, zombie or not.

There's only a handful of stories from the book that are memorable.

I'd still be surprised if Pitt stays with the project.

Yeah, think I want to read it again now.

It was overhyped to me, so I had too high of hopes going into it. It was still good, and I enjoyed it. But it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. This is a good explanation to my feelings...I like it, but:

Memorable stories I'd love to see get some screen time. . .

***Potential Spoilers***



The captain of an advanced Chinese ICBM-armed nuclear submarine deserting and running away from port with his crew and their families inside of the submarine and hiding in the Pacific.

Blind Japanese gardener exiling himself in the mountains, then meeting the Otaku kid.

Yonkers - The entire battle needs to be seen.

Pilot crashing in the middle of a heavily infested zone in Louisiana.

North Korea - not sure they can do much with it as the book only briefly mentioned it but I love the idea of the entire country of North Korea going underground to hide from the zombies.

General Raj-Singh managing to manually detonate the C-4 charges sealing off the mountain pass in India.

European castles being retrofitted to survive the zombie invasion.

The sewers under Paris

Cuba being invaded by American boat people.




No idea why I remember as much as I do about the story when other people say it's unmemorable but that's just off the top of my head.

I agree. With the novel being too broad, I wonder if the film's plot will be entirely new. There were no memorable characters in the book, in fact, I believe they were all flat.
