New World War Z Poster Unveiled (And Why You Should Be Excited)

World War Z doesn't tell a particular story. You can say it is a collection of smaller stories that, when put together tell a bigger story: the story of the Zombie War. Despite what you might think, some chapters in the book go nowhere, and serve no purpose to the story. Here's an example; there's a chapter where the "protagonist" of the book interviews a woman who created a town that apparently is completely zombie-proof, along with a protective wall, security cameras, and houses that stand on pillars whose access is only through a retractable stair. What do they talk about? About the Great Panic, and how her family dealt with the situation, neglecting it as a temporary problem that wouldn't affect them until it was too late, and that's it. Do they mention what did she do during the war? Does she talk about how she created the town and where the idea came from? No, it just ends the narration the second they escape from their house. And there are tons of chapters like that in the book. What people can't understand is than a movie should have a focus, not just tell some random stories about people who you'll never hear from again. Sure, those stories work on the book because they serve a purpose, to tell how a normal family experienced the beginning of the war, and how it affected them once the emergency finally knocked on their doors. However, from what we've seen so far they apparently found a way to do that; they made the main protagonist the leader of your average American family, and apparently on the first minutes of the film we'll see him living his everyday life while the infection starts to spread. I can understand if some of you feel very cautious about this film and it's understandable, especially if you've read the incredible book. However, you must understand the process that went with the development of this film. The writers of producers of the film felt than the universe Max Brooks created for his zombie novels was something really big (after all, World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide are connected) so they couldn't put everything in one movie. According to them, they feel that World War Z is some kind of a trilogy, with this movie exploring The Great Panic, with the second one based more on The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks, and having a third film that explores the final part about the plague, the battle of Hope and the reconstruction of US, that alone sounds really cool. Another thing that can assure you that this film will be at least a good one is the director: Marc Forster. He directed movies like Stranger Than Fiction, Monster's Ball, The Kite Runner and Quantum of Solace. He isn't some rookie who was given something big that he can't handle, he knows about directing movies, so he'll probably do a good job. Another thing that is worth mentioning is than a couple of weeks ago, a group of reviewers were invited to a screening of the first minutes of the film, and the reactions were quite favorable. And, if even after reading all of that you aren't sure about watching the film because you think it will ignore the events in the book, let's do a small count about all the events in the book that happen in the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EC7P5WdUko Okay, so you have The Great Panic (third chapter from the book); the Russian decimation (Second chapter of the book); the Wall built in Israel in order to keep the zombies from getting inside the city (the second chapter of the book); The Battle of Yonkers (third chapter in the book); and one of my favorites, Flight 575 (mentioned in the first chapter of the book). So, if you thought that they didn't pay enough attention to the book and decided to tell a different story, it's just a different take on it, that's all. There you have it. I, for one, am excited about this film, and I certainly can't wait for June, a month that looks like it will be a great month for movies all over the world. What do you think? Let us know below.
