World War Z is a movie that surprised me. I didn’t catch it in theaters, but I had heard about the troubled production it had gone through, including numerous re-writes and re-shoots. Luckily, as it turns out, all of that extra work resulted in a thoroughly entertaining final product, and all the post-production patchwork is thankfully unnoticeable. Judging from the trailers, one could be forgiven for thinking that this is just another formulaic horror/ action zombie film, but World War Z manages to carve out its own identity in a crowded genre. It manages to feel remarkably fresh with its breakneck pace, worldwide scale and epic set-pieces. Producer/ star Brad Pitt and director Marc Forster have managed to successfully fuse together the end-times desperation of AMC’s The Walking Dead with the fast-paced action of something like The Bourne Identity. Now Paramount has released the film on Blu-ray in an improved, unrated extended cut, with a number of special features rounding out the package.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
Despite the lack of updates from Marvel Studios and Disney, Shang-Chi star Simu Liu says the sequel to the successful 2021 movie is still happening.
Based on the wildly popular 1988 comic book one-shot by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, the anticipation soared for Batman: The Killing Joke movie. But why didn't it deliver in the end?
i also saw world war z as very surprisingly entertaining and i was happy for being wrong that it will suck when the trailers came out. the pacing was good and it could even be better. i hope there would be a continuation.
