Today, we have another piece of World War Z-related news that is also bound to be divisive; it turns out that the Brad Pitt-starring movie could kick off a new trilogy of zombpocalyptic flicks.
The LA Times is reporting that Paramount executives and World War Z helmer Marc Forster view the project as the first in three flicks which would blend “the grounded, gun-metal realism of [the Jason Bourne series with] the unsettling end-times vibe of AMC’s The Walking Dead.” The publication also compares the first WWZ film to Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, with regards to its “geo-political bent” and how it functions as part social commentary, part Hollywood blockbuster.
Here is an official plot synopsis for the World War Z movie:
The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself.
As was noted in our WWZ movie vs. book breakdown, it sounds as though Forster’s adaptation basically abandons the narrative structure of Brooks’ source material, in favor of a more generic reluctant-hero-saves-the-world thriller (ex. Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, etc.). While there have been entertaining films of that ilk released in the past, the storyline departure has understandably left many WWZ novel fans frustrated.

Looks like hot garbage, and completely butchers the source material. Had they just went with a documentary / flashback approach it would have been something fresh for that genre.
