World War Z

[Noname215]

Might go see it. Although the zombies don’t even look like fucking zombies. You wouldn’t even know they were zombies.

so it should be called World War G or World War R

Yeah... or stay calm and wait for the finished product.

i don't think they will take out the epic wall climbing "zombie" hive and that is what makes them not zombies, i will probably watch it, but i will say with 99.9% certainty that this will not be a classic and well loved zombie film

[8Bit_System]

I know... but still...

I'll give it a chance.

just heard it's gonna be PG-13, no wonder the zombies don't look like zombies, if they did it wouldn't get rated PG-13, i am now 99.9999999% certain that this will not be a classic and well loved zombie film

Zombie sees other Zombies and goes for it.

And that's why you think this pile of crap actually looks good. Expand your mind, go read a book.

Erm, what exactly makes you think I don't read books, just because I haven't read World War Z?

I would also appreciate if you stopped putting words into my mouth.

Lol... so those were ment to be Zombies?

Lmfao, when I watched it for the first time I though it was another movie about the end of the world.

Over at the Spacebattles forum some of them are calling these WWZ movie undead, 'zoombies'.

[Motordead]

Ill watch it in theaters. But honestly, i'm disappointed they aren't going with Max Brooks version of a zombie. But than again i guess Hollywood doesn't consider walking zombies to be action-ie

ROFL

I am totally using that from now on to refer to any fast zombies.....

[AceStarr]

This movie should be called 365 Days Later since the zombies are moving like the rage infected from 28 Days Later LOL

This film's great - go see it - and the zombies are fantastic. I know 'cos I was on the set in Glasgow, Scotland, when they were filming it. Not as a zombie unfortunately - I was providing medical cover hehe.

Seems strange for people to complain about the authenticity of the zombies... given that zombies are a loosely defined fictional construct.

Plus, come the ZA, I won't be hanging round and pointing & going 'THAT'S not a zombie, it moves too fast'

Not really. Zombies have been well defined by their creator - George Romero. TWD is based off Romero's universe; so, it's not that strange that people find fault with it. I certainly don't care for fast zombies. They're dead, damn it! I can understand fresh zombies being quicker, but not crack-head speed!


Also, 28 Days Later was a wonderful horror film about a rage virus. NOT A ZOMBIE VIRUS! It's okay for them to run.

Also, Also ---- my favorite part of the trailer?

"Stay in the car!"
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
"Stay in the..."
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Jeez! It seems like every other trailer has that damn sound in it now!

They behave more like ants. Definitely a group effort here.



Why would they do that? Maybe if someone was hanging some poor soul over the wall as bait might get that reaction. I want to like this movie but the CGI zoombies might be too ridiculous to watch.

Romero didn't "create" zombies.

He did create what people around here are talking about when they say "zombies"

He created the undead cannibal that can only be killed by a headshot and the whole idea of the zombie apocalypse.

[DreadMagus]

Zombie apocalypse... yes.

The "Hungry Dead" arch-type? No.

It might be more accurate to say he defined the modern arch-type. The same way Bram Stoker defined the "modern" vampire.

I don't see the problem with changing what is typically seen as a zombie. You are not talking about a creature, such as a lion, suddenly doing something it is incapable of, for example: flying. You are talking about a creature that does not exist: a dead human that is capable of moving around, and has only the desire to eat other living flesh as a motivator. So if the creature doesn't exist, why not have some imagination and fun with it? The dead can't move around anyway, so if they are going to move, why must they shamble? Go at a dead run and work together; it doesn't make any less sense that their brains can perform this function than any other thing you've seen them do in other films. By the way, I haven't read the book, and don't think I'll see the movie till it's free on T.V. in a few years and I'm home sick vegetating one day.
