Max Brook’s best selling graphic novel World War Z has been in the production tunnel for years. Because of which it was presumed that this project was more dead than the zombified vampires. It was looking likely also that it would be another zombie film that would never be made, and it would be much like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which is still in the uncertainty zone of production.
Alas, all is not over as according to /Film cinematographer Robert Richardson has been brought aboard. Richardson is a heavy weight in the cinematography business, having previously worked on Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, and Shutter Island. Expect the big named directors and actors to start turning heads in interest.
World War Z isn’t Max Brook’s only foray in zombies although it is his first (original title is: an Oral History of the Zombie War). Brook’s has written the Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection of the Living Dead.
Although we all love zombies. We all know they’re being overdone, much like anyting undead these days. This is why we have more people trying to terrify us by releasing movies like the Human Centipede. Although, I can see whoever takes the reins of this may inadvertently recreate zombie lore in movies and in fans.
The novel is described thusly:
World War Z is a collection of indivdual accounts in the form of first-person anecdote. Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published the report a decade after the Zombi War. The United Nations left out much of his work from the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories that form the bulk of Brooks' novel. The interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the view point of many different people of various nationalities. The personal accounts also describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War.
