I read the book and it was great. I'm looking forward to the idea of a film, but I want to wait until more details are released (as in, how are they going to do this?) before I start jumping up and down. Although hearing that Brad Pitt might be involved has caught my interest, for sure.

UGH, the CGI zombie animations didnt seem very good looking. Looked a bit cartoony flopping around as they did in that preview. Also, why does it seem like zombies are getting faster and faster lol?

to me they looked 28 Days zombies...those are scarier imo

I absolutely loved the book. Read it in like a day on my honeymoon actually. Definitely looking forward to this just based on my love for the book. With that said, i tend to be disappointed when I love the book.

I prefer the fast zombies! But I agree that the zombies in this trailer looked a little cartoonish.

Oh the coincidence. I've just finished reading Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide ("prequel" to the World War Z book, that I'll start reading in the upcoming days), then I see this and all I have to say is "what the **** is this ****?!?" O_o

Sounds kinda good but honestly I'm so fatigued with Zombies that I don't think I will watch anything involving them for a long time.

it goes in fads...a few years ago it was Vamps and now its Zombies due to Walking Dead so next we are due... Leprechauns?

    • Putin was behind Farage/Brexit and behind Trump/MAGA. Different idiot lying beasts, same fascist master. Same screwed up results for both nations.
    • For me the Final Fantasy games, Langrisser I & II, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, Metaphor: ReFantazio and LUNAR Remastered Collection
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
