    Word War Z.

    Have it actually be a mocumentary with interviews. Once people start talking switch to the scene. It is a collection of short stories. Would be fun.

    Or make it a mini series.

      Personally I thought the book was good, but I don’t think an adaptation to a movie format is the right move. Maybe a mini series would be best.

        Hmm, miniseries could work. I stopped reading the book because it felt like a screenplay. (And the movie is unrelated garbage.)

      Yeah I’ve never read the book but I’ve heard the movie was literally just a generic zombie movie that had nothing to do with the book.

            Didn’t read the books and can’t remember much of the movie but one thing.

            The way the zombies moved as a fluid.

            That was the best depiction of horde behavior I have seen. The thought that they climb over obstacles by climbing over each other was brilliant and scary.

            I only read the book afterwards. Leaving the theater I thought, “Wow, what a shit zombie movie, what’s with the zombie tower. Anyways I want ice cream.”

            After reading the book I thought, “Wow, this makes the movie seem even worse than I thought, adapting this would’ve been way better. They didn’t even follow the same in-universe rules!”

                Nah, the book is great, definitely one the best zombie fictions out there. It even spawned a pretty great fan fiction that addressed one of the hanging plot threads.

                I didn’t buy everything from it but it’s best to just consider them as separate properties and judge them on their own merits.
