It really looked bad, a mass of people cannot create that kind of an action.
The beauty of the Walking Dead show is precisely the fact that it's a slow process, showing character development, presenting the world from day one to 6 months later when they are in the prison, or at woodbury. They didn't need fast moving zombies to allude to the fast moving virus. TWD presents a dying world over time. Like this fine bottle of red wine my wife is drinking, it's matured over time, compared to my cheap beer i'm drinking which is full of fast moving bubbles and gimmicks.
Now, i think i've lost my train of thought, where was I?

I guess in January the Director was quoted saying this is supposed to be a trilogy. Have also read that in the post production nightmare this film has apparently been, Pitt, who owns the production company, and the director are not on speaking terms. So take all that for what it's worth.
I have mixed feelings because while this does look cool, I know for a fact that World War Z was a great book. Hard to see how this is like that at this point. I'll definitely be seeing this movie in theaters though and I'm sure, or at least I hope, it will be a pretty cool flick still. But mixed feelings of resentment at the moment no doubt.

What are your thoughts on this new trailer, looks like a let down for me...

Guess I'll have to forget the movie title and enjoy it for what it is, a typical hollywood blockbuster movie. I will admit, the huge war going on in what looks like Israel seems pretty heinous. But SO.MUCH.CGI.

Hahahhahahah! Oh man... if I go see this movie, I'll probably burst out laughing because I will think of Rick's "Awww... nooo" and "deytook'rjerbs!"

"We don't believe that death should be like an energy drink...."
I agree completely.
"Fast" zombies are NOT zombies IMO, and they lack the element of the macabre that makes the genre so appealing to many. "Fast" zombies just don't register the same way to me, and I see them as something other than "zombies".
In the promo, those things seem to behave more like ants than zombies, which is fine, unless you are looking for a film ABOUT zombies and not a film about "undead human super athletes that behave like army ants".
I won't be seeing this film in theaters.
To each their own.

As I said before, the director was lazy, he used fast moving tsunami waves of zombies as he couldn't be bothered to show how a world could be over run by slow moving zombies via a virus which decimated the majority of the population within a few days.
Dawn of the Dead 2005 remake handled this so much better, without the cliched "rescue family whilst driving through city" bollocks.
How is it all these films are the same? War of the worlds had a family escaping in a car, that stupid film 2012 - escape with family from city in car, that god awful volcano movie - escape with family in car. Must be every script that passes over a hollywood desk "soooo does this movie contain a family escaping through a quickly deteriorating city in their car?" "yes sir it does", "Great! Your'e hired!"

I was the first one to call the giant man pile from sp. And the first rule of giant gay zombie manpile from south park is you do not talk about giant gay zombie manpile from south park.

If that's truly the case then I can definitely write shite like that easily, all I gotta do is turn off my imagination and write typical apocalypse standards that we've been seeing being cranked outta Hollywood in the last 10-15 years. If a formula works they're going to run it to the ground until audiences say nope and the next expected "box-office block-buster" fizzles out after a day or two, then all scripts pending get burned (or archived at least) and they'll do the hit or miss until the next record-breaking opening weekend happens. It's all about making money. Some directors/producers/studios still care about art... as long as they get their money back from making it and then some.The trailer looks like crap. Looks like War of the Worlds or 2012, or that stupid movie about the world freezing over. This movie is not World War Z, in name only.

No, I just can't see a zombie tsunami either. I can see vast herds migrating outside of LA or NYC but a rolling, boiling mass? Somebody's warped idea of a horrifying image. The trailer didn't do it for me either, 1-2 second glimpses of this or that scene and you're supposed to piece it all together. I like to think I'm pretty quick on figuring out a plot/story line from a 10-15 second long scene but zipping all over the entire film in a hodge-podge of 1-2 seconds of imagery... uhh... no, sorry.
Maybe I'm just thinking too slow.
Sigh, should move to Colorado... at least I'll be able to keep up with everyone else.

I'm just interested to hear what Max Brooks has to say about this whole thing. It wasn't long ago that he was calling fast zombies gay and that the movie wasn't going to be made unless it was done like the book. I guess money won him over in the end.
I think i saw a comment in another forum saying hes not part of whatever it happends in the movie, they just bought the rights probably for the name and nothing more.
