World War Z movie news!!! (and other stuff)

Q: You also wrote a screenplay for the popular zombie book World War Z.

A: I am a huge zombie fan. I have probably seen the George Romero movies 100 times each, without exaggeration. And when Paramount and Plan B got the rights to the project, they brought me in. It was a hard book to adapt because it's got no main character, no narrative structure to it. And how do we market it, because it's a political thriller zombie movie, and those two seem to be inconsistent.

Q: How did you make it a political thriller zombie movie?

A: Well, it's really sort of an investigation -- as the book is accomplished after the fact, the main character is a person working with the UN after the zombie wars, going around to see what went wrong, what was not known and who didn't connect the dots. In a way it's looking at the Katrina situation, it's not that far away from the Iraq Study Group Report, and everyone wants to cooperate to find out what went wrong.

EPIC:shock:

that book was by far the most entertaining thing i have read in the past year or so. i enjoyed it heavily and i thank you for letting me and the rest of OT know about the upcoming movie.

I cant wait for the many documented stories, or adventures, you could say about many of the different people in the story aruodn the world. like when the chinese sub nukes the capital?( i dont remember too well) or battle of yonkers or the battle in the rocky mountains when they are finally successful at fighting off the zombies.
