Cool shit. Nevermind Kaz... I'm appreciative of you posting it.

I wasn't attacking him

what i was getting at, yes he filmed it but did he have to agree to some sort of agreement from the studio to not post it before the movie got release

clearly he's not understanding that bit

but moving on.

Might watch this during the weekend

Better than studio, I would call it 'the production'.

The production always comes out with 'no recordings allowed' policy, unless that recording is done for work related purposes such as continuity, location preparation, stunt recce, sfx recce..etc. Some crew members just like to take snaps as a souvenir.

I had no agreement per se with Z, but my agreement was with my own Production Manager as our production was, at that time, at loggerheads with the Z production.

Now it's released I posted. I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

Movie to have a unrated cut for Blu-ray

Excellent.

^ ditto. Although I almost wonder if making it more violent will actually detract from the intensity. Sometimes showing less is more. But it doesn't necessarily mean more violence, so we'll see.

The film was entertaining. As a fan of hardcore zombie flicks I still liked this.

My fav horror film is Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it showed little to no gore at all. It's all about execution. Same as Psycho.

This film had no faults besides detracting from the source material.(arguably)
A film based on the graphic novel alone would've been epic.
But that very novel showed this very occurrence so it was arguably very accurate.

I just hope they don't attempt to make a sequel for this for it is pointless. Maybe a prequel would be better to show what the fans wished to see. That would rock.

But a prequel wouldn't have Brad Pit & he was clearly the driving force of the film.

I would rather have a sequel, if anything.

I read the Vanity Fair article on the supposedly troubled production of the film. There was lots of rumor of the director not being experienced with this kind of film, that he didn't get along with Brad Pitt or one of the special effects guys. And apparently they didn't really have the 3rd act nailed down very well and they filmed some violent clash with the zombies set in Russia for the finale. That's what they cut completely and went back to rewrite. Lindelof had three weeks to create another path, and that's probably how it was conceived as a trilogy. Because if they didn't have the right third act down before shooting, then they probably weren't planning on a trilogy. But that's probably what Lindelof was paid to do, to come up with a stronger ending and expand it into a franchise.
