World War Z (The Movie)

World War Z (the film) is expected to be out in 2010. It's based on the book of the same name by Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks). My favorite Zombie movies are both the 'Dawn of the Dead' movies. (I enjoyed Zack Synder's version more than George Romero's). If you watch Zack Synder's version, make sure you watch the Unrated Director's cut. And keep watching for the "final" ending after the credits roll.

In comparison to "Dawn of the Dead", World War Z appears to be epic in scale spanning the globe.

According to J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5) who is penning the script for the movie, the scale of the movie will be phenomenal.

Most zombie movies to this point have been small, focusing on a few people in a house. And this has got real scare. You’re in India with hundreds of boats trying to get out of there with a tidal wave of zombies. The scale of what we’re doing here is phenomenal.

Hmmm ...Billion+ people trying to escape the zombies. Sign of things to come ?

Of course, Zombies are just a device. We're really talking about humans inflicting horrors on other humans and on the planet in general.

Snippet of the song, "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed (which plays at the end of Dawn of the Dead)

Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
