Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster gave a quick update on his adaptation of Max Brooks' zombie -heavy novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.
He told us: "At this point its still in development, I'm still working on the script, so I don't know if it will be my next movie, it's a book I really like, and I think it's a subject matter that would be really interesting to turn into a movie."
A follow up to Brook's The Zombie Survival Guide, the book takes the form of a series of interviews with survivors of a Zombie war. This aspect is something that Forster seems keen to replicate in the film: "What I like about the book is that it's not a straight-forward story. It has these interesting different elements to it."
Forster is clearly a fan of genre, saying he loves early zombie movies; however, expect World War Z to be a departure from the likes of Day of the Dead: "it won't be a straight-forward genre piece; it's like a hybrid type of film so it will be very unusual."
J. Michael Straczynski is writing the script.
I am so pumped!!
