That's not to say that the final product won't be as sweeping in scope as the novel - the trailer alone offers glimpses of what appears to be New York City, Israel, India, and a flotilla of survivors at sea (filming of the movie was equally international, shooting on location in Malta, Scotland, Hungary, and elsewhere). When news that a "World War Z" movie was happening, many fans of the book probably expected a fairly straightforward adaptation told in the mockumentary style of a film like "District 9." Instead, it looks like Hollywood has decided to go the good ol' "one protagonist" route and focus on the trials and tribulations of Gerry Lane, a character created for the film.

Given the popularity of zombie properties like the AMC TV series "The Walking Dead" and innumerable video games featuring the undead, it's probably safe to say that "World War Z" will be a box office draw when it is released next summer. For fans of both the zombie and disaster movie genres, "World War Z" looks like it's the perfect storm: a $125 million-plus film that combines the two genres into a big budget Hollywood spectacle about the zombie apocalypse. The first trailer for the mega budget zombie apocalypse movie "World War Z" hit the web Thursday night, and while most moviegoers probably liked what they saw (zombie war), fans of Max Brooks' original novel (on which the film is based) were likely a little let down.ĭirected by Marc Forster ("Quantum of Solace") and starring Brad Pitt (who also produced the film), "World War Z" tells the story of Gerry Lane, a United Nations employee working to stop a zombie pandemic that threatens humanity with extinction.
