Ill watch it after I illegally download it. The film being released is the second or third version of the movie. The first version was apparently so bad the studio spent over $40mil just to make it watchable. If Braindead Brad Pitt cant buy himself a decent script writer or even follow the book, which would have made a mint because.the book’s premise is actually scarey ,then he needs to lose his ass on this(his.film company made the movie). As a zombie movie fan, wwz is an abomination.
Following the book would have actually been rather cheap, as a series of interviews in eco-friendly communes, talking to the artist in the wheelchair with a CGI mural of the zombie war victory in the back, a dense hospital talking to a Russian survivor. Throw in a few flashback action scenes with mostly interviews, and it is very cheap to make.
Instead, they tried to create a super-fast monster action movie out of a rather sedate but emotionally packed book. You’d think the movie would be closer to the book, with a “WWZ” administrator talking about how he had to dredge up memories of FDR for the war commission, people talking about the environmental damage by both people and zombies, the discussion of appreciating living simply because you’re happy just to be alive.
