From Bond to Zombies: Marc Forster Signs on for "World War Z" - Blu-ray Forum

But QoS is getting bad reviews. I wanted someone who could bring the human element out from WWZ. This should have been an Eastwood or Spielberg project.

Would like to see a Wolrd War Z movie. I am listening to the book for a third time at work right now.

I am just wondering how they are going to tackle this. Are they just going to have a bunch of people being interviewed documentary style? Are they going to dramatize it? If so, which story lines will they choose? I don't think this is going to be an easy book to adapt.

I chose Eastwood or Speilberg because of Letter from Iwo Jima and Saving Private Ryan. What's worng with that? If you've read the book you know that the stories in WWZ are very personal. In fact, a film like letters might be the way to go with it.

WWZ does have moments of action but the individual human experiences are what makes it great. People coming together in a global crisis and their failures along the way. An action movie director might not apture that correctly and portray it the wrong way.

I have no objections to the writer chosen. I've heard amazing things about The Changeling.

Never even heard about this book! I might just have to go out and give it a read... When was it written?

Not too long ago. Author is Max Brooks. He also wrote the Zombie Survival Guide. He even references his own book in WWZ.

The majority of Marc Forster's earlier work has fared much better critically such as "Monster's Ball," "Finding Neverland," "Stranger than Fiction" and last year's largely-overlooked "The Kite Runner."

This is amazing news. I've been begging for a WWZ movie after just reading the book recently. There are some very original and memorable moments(battles.) which will be interesting to see on film. Man I can't wait for this.
