I keep trying to convince myself that this movie won’t be a bloody disaster but the trailers keep telling me otherwise. First trailer ended with the superfast anthill zombie gang and this one ends with zombies on a plane……
I like this and I think it will be great. The book is totally boring. I could not get into it all and I am happy that they put some action into the story. Rewrites work out well sometimes. I thought Benecio Del Toro's Wolfman was one of the best films ever made and that had many rewrites.
I have no problem with high action zombie films but I personally love the book for it's heady approach. Using the title just makes fans draw comparision to each medium unfortunately.
Heady approaches to zombies just don't cut it for me. I need action, slaughter and threat of imminent death. I'm shallow like that and do not want any thinking involved. :)
This trailer looks good, however, I read about some re-shooting and re-writing of the script during filming, and that rarely works out well.

Yeah it's vastly different from the book which is a big shame, the book is really something special. Not expecting much...
DeleteGoddammit, it still looks so fucking bad. This will be the desaster of the year.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it man, just looks worse and worse with each trailer.
DeleteYeah, totally. Weirdest thing: the director recently talked about turning it into a trilogy... WTF???
DeleteI read that as well, Pitt is trying to start a franchise, book would have worked better as an HBO mini-series.

DeleteNothing wrong with that Melissa, I'm a big fan of that type as well!
