Brad Pitt to Wage War Against Zombies?
"Babylon 5" creator J. Michael Straczynski is writing an adaptation of the horror novel "World War Z" for Paramount Pictures and as a potential starring-vehicle for Brad Pitt. "I'm adapting that for Paramount. For Brad Pitt potentially -- we'll see what happens. He might be the star in it. It's very political, very smart, very cagey", J. commented. Though with strong political undertones mixed in with the raising terror of the dead overwhelming the world's population, each chapter takes place with a different character in a different situation which would probably prove problematic for a feature. Therefore, J. has chosen to set the film entirely behind the interviewer character's eyes who will be traveling from place to place visiting people while trying to steer clear of the carnage. "I'm being very faithful to the book, letter by letter when I can, and I'm on about page 70 right now and I'm really happy with it".
I haven't read the book but I do have some interest in it, and now that it's headed for the cinema I may have to take a gander at it. |

Re: Brad Pitt to Wage War Against Zombies?
Funny how you automatically assume "political" must mean it's insulting to your side. I guess that's what it's like to be a Republican in 2007.

You're saying you would walk towards these murderous zombies? Does that make some kind of sense I'm not getting?  Last edited by j over : 02-27-2007 at 11:48 PM. |

Re: Brad Pitt to Wage War Against Zombies?
The book actually stays away from the carnage, so they haven't really changed much.
It's a good book.
