World War Z Author Says Movie and Novel Share Title Only

Huffington Post

The upcoming release of World War Z starring Brad Pitt is creating a lot of publicity for its massive budget and the fact that it bears no resemblance to the bestselling novel. The one person least surprised is the book's author, Max Brooks.

Shocking...right?!?

No seriously the moment I started to hear about the story line, I knew they blew the story away. It's unfortunate but not terribly surprising given the format of the novel. It would have been best displayed as a TV series since the book is comprised of various short stories recounting survival.

That's somewhat disappointing...

Crazay3992d ago

Yep. You ain't wrong about that dude. I was pretty hopeful it might be something awesome but these zombies run...and that's just not OK

RetrospectRealm3992d ago

Yeah, I'm a little worried now...

cr33ping_death3991d ago

Run? More like sprint through a marathon all the way... I never been a fan of zombies on P.E.D's lol

thorstein3991d ago

Well, I hope it is a stellar zombie flick. I won't expect it to be like the book.

After watching the walking dead, I feel like everything else related to zombies will be pale in comparison

darren_poolies3991d ago

Really? The Walking Dead isn't that great.

CanadianTurtle3991d ago

Well, maybe not on it's own. But compared to anything else "zombie related," I'd say the Walking Dead is the best zombie fiction out there. (Tv show, not comic)

wishingW3L3991d ago

Walking Dead went down the crapper with season 3. 28 Days/Weeks Later to me is the best zombie related anything.

dennett3163990d ago

Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead for me. Then Shaun of the Dead.

TheHergulaX3991d ago

Well....okay, So it wont be an adaptation?...
