We've seen the fast version, and they're scary because any one of them could take you out at any time.

We've never seen a horde of fast zombies. To me that's intriguing. The horde moves like a flock of birds, almost a hive mind kinda thing.

I like this...



To me, that's not only new and interesting, it's ****ing terrifying.

It's just that there are so many of them.

Not just that, but they are tactical; using each other to scale walls and such. **** THAT!!

Zombies can't be faster and stronger than what their muscles allow.


This is becoming FAIL pretty quick.

I must be a zombie nut.

I enjoy slow and fast zombies.

The Walking Dead nails it, imo. The more zombies that are in a group, the more focused and faster they are. Maybe the scenes we saw just took that idea and ran with it.

Is that kind of like a woman who "can't" lift a car off her child, yet does so anyway? People are capable of great feats of strength when they lose the blocks put in place to keep us from hurting ourselves. Zombies should be that way as well because they have no preservation instinct left, only the will to spread the disease and eat.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you took pain out of it, a pycho zombie could do a lot of shit. Kind of like PCP or Bath salt nut jobs. The cops said the bath salts people were as strong as 5 men.
I like slow zombies, running zombies whatever, but my true view of a zombie is they are human like, and deteriorate over time whether they eat or not because they are dead. I guess my closest view of zombies would be Dawn of the Dead.
Those ****ers run, and that's considered one of the best zombie movies out there..

Maybe the freshly dead/infected still have enough physical ability to pull off a mile sprint, and just degrade over time?

So I finally saw this full trailer.

The movie looks good, but the title is about the only relationship it seems to share with the book.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a 2006 post-apocalyptic horror novel by Max Brooks. It is a follow-up to his 2003 book, The Zombie Survival Guide.

Read both, pretty good...

The main point is though, THAT is not WWZ. That is just some zombie flick with Pitt in it. I wanted to see WWZ.

We knew from the get-go, though, that the narrative style of WWZ would create problems for a movie. The best approximation would have probably been to have done a "found footage" type film.

I agree that it's certainly NOT even an adaptation of WWZ the book, though. It looks to just shares a name with it.

I was thinking that Z should be a "Pulp Fiction" type movie.

Everything is seperate but tied together in the end.

Walking Zombies are popular because most people have some romantic vision that it would be easy and fun to survive in that world.


If it really happened, it would be more like Walking Dead. Vast numbers, unpredictablility along with non-stop threat would wear out most people quickly.


Running Zombies aren't as fun because they would steam-roll everything within hours. Nothing would stop them short of a Nuke within the first few minutes of an outbreak.

I LOVE zombie movies, but here is the whole problem with the zombie theory. It wouldn't spread like you think it would. In every zombie movie, the zombies are super hungry, and want nothing but flesh. So once there were 10-20 zombies, they wouldn't be making a whole lot more, because whoever they caught would get picked CLEAN. There wouldn't be anything left to turn into a zombie.

Walking Dead explains. Zombies don't actually eat for nourishment. As such, they don't need to eat flesh, they're only compelled to eat flesh. The only flesh they're compelled to eat, in the Walking Dead, is flesh that is living or very fresh. So, in effect, once the victim dies, they start to "turn off" from eating the victim. I do agree that there would be way more zombies that are half eaten (possibly missing legs/arms/etc...).
