I hope it doesn't suck as they changed the plot:

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. Rather than a grand overview or narrative, World War Z is a collection of individual accounts in the form of first-person anecdote. Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published the report a decade after the Zombie War. The United Nations left out much of his work from the official report, choosing to focus on facts and figures from the war rather than the individual stories that form the bulk of Brooks' novel. The interviews chart a decade-long war against zombies from the view point of many different people of various nationalities. The personal accounts also describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War.

To this

"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."

It's mostly because he has control over it as his production company
is making it. I do like him as an actor though so not too angry...yet.

I'm not too excited for it. I didn't finish the first book, but I have a feeling it's gonna get chopped and screwed to hell because that's what hollywood does.

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it won't deviate too far from the book.

Probably not as screwed up as Priest is. That movie is just Priest in name alone; although I did like it somewhat. So even if they throw out the book, I just want a zombiefest that's all. And lots of large caliber guns.
