The first official trailer for Paramount's zombie extravaganza World War Z has arrived and I'm not impressed. First the massive hordes of CGI zombies look dreadful. Second, it is nothing like Max Brooks' bestselling book. World War Z is arguably one of the greatest works of zombie and horror literature, presenting a global collection of oral histories about how mankind repelled the zombie apocalypse. It's disappointing that World War Z was made into an action movie.. didn't they bother to read the book? They also went with zombies that are really fast and will get you because they're everywhere, instead of the really slow zombies that'll get you because they're everywhere.
This has the look of one hot mess. Should have stuck to the book's outline. Watch the trailer after the jump.
Brad Pitt plays a U.N. employee racing against time and fate as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly zombie pandemic. Mireille Enos plays his wife, a mother of two girls. Their co-stars include Eric West, Matthew Fox, David Morse, and James Badge Dale.
