World War Z Sequel

I'm one who somewhat enjoyed the first film. So if Fincher is on board that could make for an even better movie...

I heard it had nothing to do with the highly praised source material.

Why should we care? Brad should retire.

Well, I didn't finish reading the book, but I didn't really like it very much. And I don't think it would have made for a very engaging film. Certainly not a pop-entertainment sort of film. And apparently the writers and execs agreed because it was changed so much.

WWZ had very little to do with the book, which was a shame as a film done to match the book, short separate stories that cross together in some fashion, could/would have been epic.

The film wasn't bad though, an overall decent zombie flick, seems Pitt wanted the rights just for the name.

Yeah, it's a cool name.

But I liked that they rewrote the ending of the film (they actually did some rewriting and reshoots I think) and even though it's a movie about (what the title suggests) worldwide zombie war, the film ended with a very intimate and tense sequence.

Films ends with humanity coming together to fight the zombie hordes, which is in the book in a manner as the book takes place after humanity reclaimed the planet.

I enjoyed it, loved the plane bit and how Pitts character and his female sidekick were miraculously the only survivors of the plane crash

smh @ the OP.

your title was right there on a silver platter...

World War Z-quel.

^^lol

I'd give a sequel a try. The first was pretty entertaining.

More credible than Cruise being the lone survivor in The Last Samurai.

Haven't seen it so I wouldn't know

It should be its own thing and have its own title, then.

Will see this. Thoroughly enjoyed the first one.

Thought the first was garbage both because it destroyed the source material just to get the name, secondly because the CGI sucked, thirdly because too many idiotic actions were taken, and lastly because it was horribly presented. Like the first I will wait for this to come to me. No way I'd pay to see more poo on the big screen. Don't really understand what people see as redeeming about the first film, but whatevs.

Personally I find "blood & gore" is a poor excuse of a horror film these days.

In that sense WWZ was a good horror flick in the sense that it relied on suspense & drama more.

And funny enough it was also a good "mature" family flick.

Nothing tops the original Romero trilogy.

It's a shame zombie genre is not getting proper movies these days. Just Kirkman's comics and the TV series...

Rage zombies refreshed the genre IMO.

That was good but i prefer the slow walking ones more.
