Well after much controversy in which fans of the book rose to the internet to slam the script adaptation in which Brad Pitt who plays title character Gerry Lane in the movie tries to stop the zombie outbreak before it happens. This is nothing like the book that is set thru the eyes of survivors of the zombie wars and spans the globe including a Chinese nuclear submarine. The book did an amazing job of letting the reader understand that the victory over the zombie horde was not really a victory at all and you get the sense for the first time that the world would be devastated after such a event. Author Max Brooks said himself that he was glad he was not asked to pen the script due to the book being almost unfilmable due to budget and logistic problems. Paramount plans on the film being a triology to give the films a chance to embrace the scope of the book. We will see when the film releases later this year.
