World War Z - The Movie
November 13, 2008
Paramount has set "Quantum of Solace" director Marc Forster to helm "World War Z," 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. Forster is unlikely to return for another James Bond installment. As for "WWZ," "The genre always fascinated me, and when they pitched it to me, it reminded me of the paranoid conspiracy films of the '70s like 'All the President's Men,' " Forster told Daily Variety. Par bought the book for Plan B in 2006, and it is one of several high-profile projects for the company headed by Pitt, who next stars for the studio in the David Fincher-directed "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Plan B is also prepping an adaptation of the novel "Eat, Pray, Love," with Ryan Murphy directing and Julia Roberts expected to star; the Fincher-directed projects "The Killer" and "Black Hole"; and a film about drug addiction based on two nonfiction tales: "Beautiful Boy" and "Tweak." KICKASS NEWS!!! :D This is a project which will be really close to me, and I will keep a keen lookout for the updates on this.

Anyone already read World War Z? It's 3rd on my list of books to read. I'm in the middle of The Rising & then on to City of the Dead (both by Keene). World War Z is after those. I loved Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide though.

Brian Keene says they are working on the Rising deal. IMDb says it's in
development. For a long time the rumor was it would air on HBO as a series . Brad Pitt optioned the book awhile back. I cant wait too see it. Hopefully the movie can fit all of those amazing stories in.

I have been thinking of how this will translate to film since i read the book and i don't know if they can pull it off. They might just focus on three to four stories and have them intertwine like some in the book did but i don't think the entire book could be filmed.
