Brad Pitt Brings On Zombie War

By Josh Tyler: 2006-06-15 00:00:00
Brad Pitt Brings On Zombie War Paramount Pictures has picked up the rights to another zombie property. This time it’s the screen rights to a novel by Max Brook (yes the son of Mel Brooks) called “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War”.

Weird. The title actually sounds like a Mel Brooks zombie movie. But don’t expect anything funny. It’s described as the sober telling of the aftermath of a war against a legion of humans inflicted with a virus that makes them hunger for flesh and walk like they’re heavily constipated. Why are zombies so hard to fight again? Sorry, that’s just never made any sense. The poor things can barely walk, let put together any sort of serious attack plan.

That hasn’t stopped Paramount from putting up a lot of money for it. Now that they have it, they’re turning World War Z over to Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B to produce. Variety says they only got the rights after winning a bidding war for the book with Leo DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company, which probably means that Max Brooks is now even more rich. The deal was reportedly in the high six figure range.

  • DON'T HAVE TO EAT!?!?!?! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING!?!?! Why do you think sometimes they change people into them, and other times they just FRIGGIN' EAT 'EM!?!?! 'Cause they're hungry JVUKHJkJHBJG GOSH I've never heard someone say something so stupid in my entire life.
  • If you've done your research, you would've known by now that they have the 'desire' to eat, but Zombies don't necessarily NEED to eat. They're already dead so it's not like they're going to 'starve' to death.

    Don't go on a spasm attack over something as petty as that. Please. Composure is necessary.
  • Zombies, everyone always laughs until your up against them. As the previous person has said "numbers". Every person bitten by a zombie becomes one, while every zombie killed by a human becomes a corpse. They don't stop, ever. They don't need to eat, they don't need to sleep. They have no leaders, no need of ammo, no home base to defend. They exist to kill and turn others into them. Every single one will alwasys be searching for more prey and once they find it they will never leave. One zombie shows up at the gates, then three, then tweleve, then sixty, then two hundred. They will not stop, they will not get board, they will not "give up and go away". They will pound on your defenes night and day, everyday. They will claw and push till you fence falls down. They pile over each other till they form a living ramp over your wall. They will wear you out until the only thing left to eat is a bullet, provided you have any left. How many rounds can you stock pile. 1,000? 5,000? 60,000. Good, I hope that each and every one is a kill shoot throught the head. Think about the population around you. How many people live with in ten or twenty miles of your fort. 10,000? 50,000? 200,000? a major city of 6.5 millon people? Not enought ammo to go around. The worst part is you could plan for everything down the the number of years it takes for a zombie to turn to dust and be ready to wait. But all it takes is for one thing to go wrong. A bad gerator leaves you without power, you water supply becomes contaminated, you accidently break you wrist jumping down from the second floor. Sooner or later something will go wrong. Then what? Do you have backups for your backups? Probably not. And that's when the tide turns in there favor. Time is always on there side. I have to go now. I can hear distant moans on the wind. Why do they always moan when they find us?
  • Hehe what makes zombies so hard to fight.. Well first its confusion, nobody knows why their dad has gone beserk and is eating their mom.. simply put zombies sometimes are your own loved ones which makes them extremely hard to kill. Not too mention the fact that they need to be decapitated or a bullet through the brain is the only way to put them down..and thats just for starters.
  • the reason they're hard to fight: strength in numbers.
    that and zombies never get tired, they are like single task computers that perform until they can't, etc. this is all intricately detailed in max brooks' first book, Zombie Survival Guide. I'm guessing the book the film is to be based upon is a follow-up to the survival guide. sounds like fun. it makes me wonder what dicaprio's team might have done with it though.
