Movie Trailers: World War Z - Teaser Trailer

Looks like it will be a fun movie adaptation of Left 4 Dead. I'll watch it.

I don't particularly like the book (the premise of a "realistic" zombie attack is self-defeating), but I assume the film only shares the name for the sake of brand recognition. Probably a good thing; there isn't that many ways you can really do a zombie story, and most modern movies attempt a "realistic" approach anyway.

There's a lot of people bitching about how the zombies don't move slow, like in the book (or indeed - every fucking zombie movie that hasn't figured out that a monster that moves at a snails pace isn't scary anymore). It is probably for the best that the zombies are not only fast, but move like a god damn avalanche - that's quite a fresh idea, and it even makes kind of sense, if you've ever seen how ants attack something. Why the hell wouldn't they be scrambling over one another? It makes them far more dangerous than any zombie plague ever depicted.

Ummm did they actually read the book?

Because it doesn't look like it.

I like the way no-one likes the trailer. To echo most of the posts here the film completely misses the point of the book. Max Brooks even says that he sees the Zombies as a walking plague rather than monsters. That was the compelling part of the book showing how incompetance and political agendas could doom the entire planet in the face of an unknown threat and then to see the effects of those actions on individual people. But I suppose a plot of AAAhhhh Zombies Run is all hollywood can come up with these days

Generic doesn't even begin to cut it. What has Brad Pitt lowered himself to this time?

He's lowered himself into a new pool.

I think James Cameron may need to raise the bar again on this one.
