World War Z (film)

[rongravy]

So it's probably a good thing I haven't read the book then. I guess I can go see the movie if/when it comes out, then eventually get ahold of the book and compare/see how much they raped the book's corpse. I used to work with a guy that lent me cool books to read, especially a buttload of serial killer ones. Now everybody I work with brings a bible, and that's about all they read since all they do is quote from it. I need to hook up with someone who reads this stuff as I'm a bit tight in the wallet to buy them. Then I can borrow them, lol. I won't even crack the spine as I read it, a habit I employ anyway always. Also, I've been kind of leery of zombie fiction always, dunno why. Maybe I should try it, but where to start? Anyway, done rambling.

Ugh ... is it so hard to stay true to the plot of the book? I take it this PG-13 nonsense will also be going ahead ... which is such crap, especially in light of The Walking Dead having the *ahem* guts *cough* to show the necessary grue. You can't prettify a zombie outbreak. Zombie outbreaks by their very nature involve bloodletting, and zombies by their very nature involve being shot in the ruddy head to put them down for good - and furthermore - they like to feast on the flesh of the living. Yeah, sounds right up the Twighlight Tweens' back alley.

This sounds like it's gong to have as much to do with the book as Dawn 04 does with Romero's original - just cashing in on the name. Of course say what you like about Dawn 04 but at least they didn't try to sanitize it with regards to the blood and guts.

Get ready to drop your jaws folks, but that's something that I actually like about Yawn04 ... I still think the movie's utter shit, but the gore was solid.

Brad Pitt? I can't stand Brad Pitt. Yuck. What do we want to bet his "wife" is played by Angelina Jolie (another, ahem, 'actress' I could care less about)? PG-13 doesn't bug me, Brad Pitt on the other hand -- no thanks. No interest. Next please. j.p.

how can a movie about the end of the world be pg 13? its like the left behind series about the rapture, it needed to be rated R just for the simple fact people wouldnt be running around as calm as they were.

how can a movie about the end of the world be pg 13? I think it basically comes down to Paramount, with something like this you either do full-force warts and all, or you don't bother. Quite simply it's Paramounts complete and utter lack of faith in the project that's lead to this compromise, play-it-safe script. Fingers crossed for the reboot!

Fingers crossed for the reboot! paramount has green lit some raunchy films......so idk why they wanna neuter the zombie genre

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah the more i think about it, it's starting to really look like: pg-13 rating + brad pitt + messing up main plot of book = horrible film adaptation of a great book.

I know, right? I saw a prank on some chick that was deep into the Left Behind series, which I've unfortunately read by the way. When she thought she was... wait for it... LEFT BEHIND... she totally freaked out. If they wouldn't have caught her, what kind of crazy shit would she have done? Drown her babies in the tub? See? This is why I hate people who predict the end. It tends to bring out the crazies who would've just been content to daydream the death of the world, not kill their loved ones to save them. Either way, I will see the movie for the hopeful gore, or lambast it with snorts of derisiveness when it fails horribly...

how can a movie about the end of the world be pg 13? Roland Emmerich.

Wow! Coincidence! Got some friends over tonight from a town south of us call Tunbridge Wells. In the middle of the even one of them said, "Hey! Brad Pitt is going to be filming in Tunbridge Wells!" To which I said, "Not, World War Z?" "Yes! How did you know!" http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/news/Pit...l/article.html

I hope he enjoys his stay here and, if possible, could make himself known to some people so that they can enjoy his company," she said. Is it just me, or does it sound like she's asking Brad Pitt to be a prostitute? I mean an actual hooker, by the way, not the whoring that his career path has done.
