This is excellent, while I am not sure I like the change to include the main character in all of the scenes.. we all liked the book and it worked in written format very well.. perhaps they felt for a film to work you needed to be more invested in the scene through the characters trying to develop 20 characters and their supporting cast fro the stories we hear/read in the book might make the film too long and result in a situation where you did not have enough time to "attach" to any of them... resulting in an offering where you just didn't care on the level you needed to. I call it the batman effect. The Tim Burton films. They added so many villains, heroes, and supporting cast members in each film you just couldn't give a crap about any of them. Like it? Maybe not... we just have to wait and see how it is pulled off. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I think its safe to say i'll be there on opening weekend. I found this interesting in the article According to local press, filming will continue on the island until July 9 when the production moves to Scotland. Other reports have claimed that Glasgow will double as Philadelphia and was choson after 'many months looking for the perfect city centre location to play an important part in the film.' The production found itself without a financial backer until a co-financier came forward and filming was finally able to begin last month. Could that be Yonkers but moved to Philly? Cant remember any important Philly scenes off the top of my head from the book.

Hmmmm, very cool. I didn't know they had started filming yet.

It can't just be Brad Pitt flying around the world as the outbreak happens can it?

Does anyone want to take a flyer at how this is gonna work? It can't just be Brad Pitt flying around the world as the outbreak happens can it? Absolutely it can. With the WWZ complete plot change, I could see Pitt undergoing the Kevin Costner syndrome which requires he be in almost every scene.

Is it possible that they show his character as the interviewees are telling the story. As if he is there but not really there... omni present if you will? That could work for me.

Ooh, interesting idea/thought there, Skippy! (Love callin' folks that). I'd like to see something like that... could be quite interesting.

This was my take after thinking about it, he sits he listens and then as the story dissolves/fades into flashback we see Brad in their role.

This was my take after thinking about it, he sits he listens and then as the story dissolves/fades into flashback we see Brad in their role. Okay...that might work. I was getting really worried that we would be dealing with "Brad Pitt - Movie Star", and not "Brad Pitt - pretty decent actor".

OK... So I'm apparently really bad about reading a thread for the first time and getting into the first 12 or so posts and then suddenly resonding to them and then realizing upon posting that there were 162 other posts, all of which probably covered everything I just said here... Please disregard and so sorry for spam... "Thanks for that link Neil. I agree with the artice there. How can you have headshots and exploding brains in a PG13 film? PG 13 for a Zed film? Really? Maybe all the zombies in the film will be elderly folks with no teeth so they can just gnaw and slobber on their victims' limbs. Then, the survivors can put them down gently by feeding them tapioca pudding and reading to them. Give me a f*kin break... PG13 pfffff..."

More location news. This time in Cornwall. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/n...-cornwall.html Paramount Pictures is currently in negotiations with the Falmouth council in order to film boat scenes off the Cornish coast.

The hyperlinked text above currently does not lead to an actual link. Assuming this is a similar story, though.
