Head on out to the theaters this weekend and check out QUANTUM OF SOLACE if you want to get an idea of the directing styles of Marc Forster. Why would you care? Because Forster has been tapped to direct the highly anticipated World War Z adaptation for Paramount Pictures. Based on the Max Brooks bestselling novel about a worldwide infestation of flesh-eating zombies. "Changeling" scribe J. Michael Straczynski is writing the screenplay, and Brad Pitt's Plan B is producing. Brooks -- the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft -- wrote a detailed tale in which a researcher for the U.N. Postwar Commission interviews survivors from countries all over the world, 10 years after the crisis, to gather a first-person post-mortem on a war that obliterated every country on the map.
WWZ is going to be an important film for horror fans because it is something new and not a remake or sequel. Could be a new beginning for zombie films in general since most the recent ones have just been bloody awful.
"Keep George Romero away from this project. The zombie genre needs to be re-invented."
*looks at WWZ's content*....I'm sorry HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK! it's pretty much about all old type of zombies
I agree with Sadie5C00, Romero's last two movies haven't been that memorable.
