'World War Z' Rises from the Dead... Again

Source: Deadline

After the film adaptation of Max Brooks' zombie novel, 'World War Z' was reportedly killed due to budget issues with Paramount, the film once again rises up from the grave and takes a few steps forward. Several small production companies and financiers like Skydance intend to pool their combined resources to accomodate the budget for the Marc Forster  film, set to star Brad Pitt.

 

The story follows a researcher for the UN Postwar Commission as he interviews survivors of the Zombie War. His job is to travel to different countries that were infected and gather all the information about how they survived and what they learned from the flesh eaters in order to compile them into a 'Zombie Survival Guide' (which was Max Brooks first novel). During his research he discovers the importance of sharing the stories of those interviews and oral history of when the dead walked the earth.

 

Now that the film has financial backing they are hoping to begin shooting in June in order to beat the inevitable swarm of zombie films that will be released in coming years. The genre is not only regaining popularity with sequels to '28 Days Later', 'Resident Evil' and 'Zombieland 2', but also with new comedic films like Universal's comic book adaptation 'R.I.P.D.', Lionsgate's 'Pride Prejudice and Zombies' and Summit's romantic film 'Warm Bodies'.

@sky gonzalez lol nice one. I actually hope Pitt will do some sort of accent. Hell Im just glad he is in talks for this! It'll be just like when Clooney did dusk till dawn.

@BRUCE BONSAI I couldn't agree more.  Maybe two seasons with unfolding original story line; I could watch that.  As a single film I'm afraid that too many of the story arcs will be skipped, heavily edited, or just botched.

It would work better as a miniseries on HBO perhaps.  A TV format would better suit how the book's story unfolds.

Just promise me he won't talk like the way he did in Inglorious Bastards.

Agreed. Not that a movie couldn't be good but a one shot miniseries would be best. Better to get the feel for the scope.
Comment by Crazypants on April 1, 2011 at 8:26am
I agree with Kovacs, it would be best to put it in tv format.
