Quote:
Paramount Pictures’ adaptation of Max Brooks’ popular allegorical zombie novel, World War Z, has attracted its fair share of controversy due to a handful of issues – including, plans for the $125 million project to be Rated PG-13 and the substantial narrative differences between Brooks’ book and its cinematic counterpart.

Today, we have another piece of World War Z-related news that is also bound to be divisive; it turns out that the Brad Pitt-starring movie could kick off a new trilogy of zombpocalyptic flicks.


The LA Times is reporting that Paramount executives and World War Z helmer Marc Forster view the project as the first in three flicks which would blend “the grounded, gun-metal realism of [the Jason Bourne series with] the unsettling end-times vibe of AMC’s The Walking Dead.” The publication also compares the first WWZ film to Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, with regards to its “geo-political bent” and how it functions as part social commentary, part Hollywood blockbuster.

I'm not. Need more zombie movies, IMO.

The book was really great though. So the movie has potential, however unlikely.

We need more zombies and vampires like we need more World War II games.

It's funny, because it's true.

I have a new theory on Pop culture. Throwing darts at the schedule of events at Dragon*Con is a great way to predict what will be old, tired, and over-produced 5 years from now.

Vampires/gothic has had its run, Zombies is reaching its zenith, so now it's Steampunk and Urban Fantasy's turn coming up...

Then go to a library. Even what Gibson's writing these days isn't really recognizable as cyberpunk anymore.

WWZ was good. I wouldn't be against a movie series.
