Can someone for the love of god give this a proper adaptation? If Apple or whoever made this an anthology series it would be the most popular shit in the world. It’s just a cool story with wide appeal why in gods name has no one tried this??
>>2238054402013 brad pitt world war z is the highest grossing zombie movie of all time
>>223805466Truly unfortunate
There's a guy making an ai adaptation of the book
>>223805440Oh cool this looks like a sweet zombie book. Ive heard its good! ... oh cool its a gigantic chapter about fucking Israel and Muslims and Middle East politics. Coooooool dude! Thats exactly what I was hoping for when I picked out this cool zombie book. Heck yeah
>>223805528Don't forget the jews brag about independently confirming the zombies were real...only they didnt share the information with anyone else including the United States. Meaning the jews were behind the zombie apocalypse basically and were just using it as an opportunity to embolden themselves at literally everyone else's massive expense...
>>223805440another pathetic hasbara thread because zioshills live here 24/7 now
>>223805440All i want is the bridge scene
>>223805440>US military loses a pitched battle against zombies that can only shuffle forward
>>223805528He did more or less the exact same thing in his Sasquatch book.
>>223805563Sorry they didn't include trigger warnings in the preface.
>>223805572Why do you people think anyone cares about this websiteIt gets 1/4 of the unique daily visitors it got in like 2020 lol
>>223805613Lol that is literally the canon of the book and theyre even proud and boast about it, the interviewer simply never asks them why they didnt inform their greatest ally of their concrete proof the zombies were real.In universe, jews just openly brag about their (failed) plan to self isolate with the Tel Aviv wall while leaving burgermutts to and vatniggers out in the cold to die by the billions. Theyre genuinely culpable over the state of that world, but hilariously Best Korea gets shit for essentially doing the same exact thing with bunkers instead (and the fact it may have worked is supposed to make the reader angry at Best Korea)...
>>223805489Who and where?
>>223805645>you peoplegoyim? this site is your baby from propaganda to brainwash youth. why do YOU hover here, your presence is continual and obvious, so it has value to you. you just wish so bad people wouldn’t point it out
The adaptation will only make one of the two main battles a no expense spared setpiece: The Battle of Yonkers or The Battle of Hope...which do you choose?
>>223805704You could do the Battle of Hope for cheap, all you need are extras and the prop for the gun. It was a line firing battle. They gave up all use of artillery and whatnot by that point because the zombies are magically invulnerable to explosions for no reason.
>>223805440>Can someone for the love of god give this a proper adaptation?A proper adaption would be an anthology tv series with different actors in different stories by different writers, with seasons being a mix of stand-alone episodes and several episode arcs, which might reference each other or have cross-overs in later seasons.Hollywood fucked up (once again) by turning WWZ into a movie while adapting The Walking Dead into a tv series, even though the later had a restricted story and thus quickly went to shit.
>>223805671Again, I wish they would have included a trigger warning to save your delicate sensibilities.
>>223805466Mireille Enos is the reason I watched it
>>223805911wtf are you talking about retard
>>223805691>help help I'm being oppressed!!woke faggot
>>223805673SonicVisions on patreon is one
>>223805440That story about the downed pilot being led to safety by a ghost on the radio still resonates with me today.
>>223805704>battle where people lose because zombies are immune to tank rounds or battle where they form a giant circle and shoot for 24 hours straight while HR therapists tap them on the shoulder every hour to help them process what they are doingI'm good this book in retrospect was fucking retarded that had to nerf shit for the sake of nerfing. A better reasoning would have been to start the Zombie invasion after a major war when the US depleted most of its munitions but that would require good writing not from the nepo baby of a famous jew director that went from making edgy racist movies to "you must get the jab racist goyim"
The book was great fun and already written like a movie script, so when are we finally getting a movie adaption?
>>223805745It's not for no reason. Zombies aren't affected much by shrapnel, their brains and organs aren't affected by overpressure to any meaningful degree, and their blood has congealed making them more resilient. You need to pierce the skull and destroy most of the brain to kill one, which artillery won't do in any significant numbers. They can also sometimes take headshots and still survive since the brain wasn't samaged enough, which led to more panic and confusion. Zombies are magical fiction in the first place. Being angry they're not perfectly realistic is stupid.
>>223805440>If Apple or whoever made this an anthology seriesyou'd struggle to stay awake watching it
>>223806300Never. A movie is 100% the worst format to ever adapt it to. The audiobook is like a dozen hours of stories. You can't just trim out 90% of something and pretend it will be just as good. Two hours of runtime, presented to a low iq cinema audience that has no idea what it is, and just demand more of the usual slop is idiotic. Make a miniseries geared towards the actual book fans, they will let everyone know that it's good, then the normie audience can pick it up from there so it gains more traction and popularity.
>the hero who saved the entire world from the zombie apocalypse is Joseph Mengele (Afrikaner)what did Max Brooks mean by this
>zombieslopgrow up
>>223805440Why does this need an adaptation? It's just a bunch of interviews; if you've heard the audiobook, it's pretty much halfway there. Do you need to see a guy sitting on a chair telling the story too?
>>223805645Why do you think "they" don't?
>>223806515Because most zombie movies now are such trash that it's seen as an infantile genre not worth pursuing. Yet there's still plenty of amazing stories to tell. As is obvious, most people have not read or listened to the book. They only saw the dreadful film. This book could be adapted into a couple dozen episodes all interconnected by the same outbreak and big events, which makes it that much better with an overarching lore and characters. Instead we just get shit like 28 years later 1&2 which are barely zombie movies.
>>223805440I read this as a teenager and the only thing i remember was a chapter following a japanese NEET who rappels down from his apartment and kills zombies with a samurai sword he got from an anime convention.I may have hallucinated that part though.
>>223805440>an anthology seriesWould be the best version. But there is so much stuff about it that would piss people off that they cant do. >the russian woman breeder program to repopulate russia, and the woman where okay with it. >the virus outbreak started in rural china>the pajeet general>india&pakistan nuking each other>painting the US military grunts as good guys>queen Elizabeth taking control of england >pretty much most of the third world wiped out >educated people getting send to the factories&mines because we dont need HR bitches anymore. The left would have a field day with a 1 to 1 translation from book to tv show.
>>223805671>but hilariously Best Korea gets shit for essentially doing the same exact thing with bunkers instead (and the fact it may have worked is supposed to make the reader angry at Best Korea)...The implication is that those bunkers are swarming with millions of best korea zombies and before they can ever get to the bunkers they need to go to miles of automated defenses.
>>223805440>erm bombs and artillery don't work against the zombies because... THEY JUST DON'T OKAY >entire chapter dedicated to fellating israelWhat a shit book
>>223806612>Because most zombie movies now are such trash that it's seen as an infantile genre not worth pursuing.lmao the zombie genre has always been infantile trash
>>223805489oooh ffs, its gonna be even worse then Pitt flic
>>223806737Problem with a lot of zombie stuff is they always devolve to "humans where the real monsters all along" And it's so fucking tiresome.
>>223806645No you didn't. You did however forget him meeting a blind guy who survived thanks to his Daredevil like enhanced senses, because that's obviously a real thing blind people have...
>>223805440>support Israel goyim
>>223805593Yes, the patchwork force they barely scraped together in a nation already in collapse lost against 8+ million bodies incapable of fearThere were more civilian/news helicopters in the skies than military ones, Yonkers wasn't the entire military it was what little was in the local area
>>223807313Plus he explained that it's a standard military unit that's set up to fight other militaries. Half of its stuff isn't necessary for a fight against zombies and they have far too little fuel or ammo at that moment. Shit like tanks with turbines that run through gas and achieve little with canon rounds. Air defense missiles that are not useful. Only a standard load of bullets. Wearing NBC gear that's not helpful and exhausting the soldiers. Rumors and fear spreading like wild. The key to all of these stories is that zombies are a new thing that has never been seen before. Yet detractors approach stories like "why didn't they just know exactly how to deal with zombies? Haven't they seen ever single zombie movie ever like I have?!" These people can't imagine not eating breaking this morning.
>>223807508There is always a "why the fuck did they do it that way?" thing in zombie stuff. LIke for example in the walking dead, the entire human race got infected with the zombie virus in a couple of days and when they died in accident or natural death could turn zombie. For some reason the governments of the world in the walking dead even when the virus was breaking out all over the world, they still decided to keep that info from the public. It's a very retarded way to make the plot of the walking dead happen.
>>223806686>>india&pakistan nuking each otherIndia and Pakistan explicitly do not nuke each other. Pakistan refuses to nuke India, gets overrun by zombies because they didn't, then nukes *Iran* when Iran bombs the largest bridge between their countries to stop the zombies from getting to them too
I remember seeing this in theaters. I was so disapointed. It sucked so bad. I loved that book when it came out. I figured if it ever got made it would be like a mockumentary or a well made action/drama. But no it got fucked>>223805584This. Battle of Yonkers and the desert battle with iron maiden blasting. Kino.
>>223807866Oh, my mistake, it has been a very long time since i read the book. >>223806140The part about the soldiers clearing out houses and they hear a gunshot and find one of the soldiers who killed himself in one of the houses sitting down in a chair. And when they look at the pictures in the house they realize it was the soldiers house where he and his family lived before the outbreak.
>>223807878i only remeber the bridge, the strategy to shoot zombie efficiently, the russian decimation and theocracy, the catacombs and the sea zombies
>>223806372Go stand in a field and I'll hit you with a fucking artillery shell and we'll see how well your skull and limbs hold up you fucking retard. Why would shrapnel not kill them you fucking halfwit. The force of explosives would destroy their brains. What is a bullet, it is propelled metal zipping through the air at high speed. OK what is shrapnel? Propelled metal zipping through the air at high speed. Even a hand grenade will leave no zombie alive, theyd grenade every house.And why would they make a new rifle when theyd have literally hundreds of millions of available semi automatic AR 15s in inventories with billions of that caliber in every National Guard armory in every state? Why would a truck mounted convoy of m2 .50 caliber machine guns not vaporize every zombie?
>>223805440>wheelchair guy>obama>russians going full retard>kungfu japanese neetnot bad in retrospect but i remember people going like "this is realistic zombie apocalypse scenario" which was false advertisement
>>223808019It's zombies, bruh!!!
>>223808046Best zombies make no sense. If it's a virus then just wait it out. If its the dead come back from hell then oh fuck
I never understood why people shilled so hard for this. A blind samurai? Come on man.
>>223808021>>223808069The most "realistic" zombie movie is still 28 days later where some kind of super potent rabies virus turns everybody crazy with rage and could spread instantly by even the smallest drop of blood or saliva. And in this setting all the "zombies" are still just humans but crazy and all of them are dying by the end of the movie. But then of course the second and third movie retconned a bunch of stuff.
>>223808092A blind samurai the super genius mossad the dumbass "genius plan" that was LE EVIL for being what exactly oh just have distraction sites to funnel the zombies into one place but OH WAIT the zombies cant be killed by helicopters so I guess they dont exist anymore WHY ARE YOU SACRIFICING ANYONE, WHEN THE DISTRACTION SITE BEGINS TO FALL HAVW 1 OF THE 400000 BLACKHAWKS IN EXISTENCE HOVER DOWN AND PICK THE GUYS UP, WHAT THE FUCK.
>>223807995I remember the sea zombies. They would show up out of the depths and militaries had to kill them when they begin to get closer to the surface. It was a cool aspect. There is a part people are moving through canada or some frozen place and describe seeing a bunch of dead bodies and their clothes under ice. Describes a spongebob blanket frozen under there. That always seemed unsettling when i was a kid reading that
>>223805671>Israel IDF gets in a civil war with its orthodox.>Is consistently pulling Palestinians into protected areas and executing israelis that fail the dog checkDA JOOSCheny is shoveling shit and gets pissed off by the interviewer questioning why the US never went beyond it's Alpha teams that were supposed to be just the first step in controlling outbreaks.Also Best Korea is undead and no one has the stomach to get through the mine fields and start WWZZ while everyone is recovering and Putin has started an Orthodox crusade.
>>22380809628 weeks later wasnt so bad but the newer stuff is retarded >>223808148i remember they caused problems at oil rigs on the sea, i don't know howand that the beaches were mostly too dangerous to use because a zomb would just come out the sea and bite people
>>223808148Yeah the winter zombies, zombies who freeze in the winter, so they send out teams in the winter to crack the skulls of frozen zombies and that way they massively cleaned out the zombies in nations where they have seasons where it freezes. But then again they have massive zombie hoards walking on the ocean floor in sub zero temperatures while tanking thousands of pounds of pressure
>>223806645IJA verteran
>>223808199OK answer the question you faggot, why the fuck was no one informed, IF MOSSAD DISCOVERS VERIFIABLE INFORMATION ABOUT ZOMBIES BEING REAL WHY DID THE US GOVERNMENT NOT FUCKING SEE IT?They left everyone except themselves high and dry with the expectation theyd wait it out as a new global power and the only standing government in the world. THEY HAD PROOF THE ZOMBIES WERE REAL AND PROOF IT WOULD BECOME GLOBAL, THEY BUILT A GIANT FUCKING WALL.AND WHY AND HOW did they erect this giant ass wall with NO ONE asking why? NO ONE noticed the giant ass zombie wall erected around fucking TEL AVIV?DID YOU CONSIDER HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE? IT MEANS THEY KNEW VERY FUCKING EARLY AND DIDNT SAY SHIT. FUCK YOU.
>>223806645i remember a few of the stories, including this security guy that stays at a long island mansion and watches the rich idiots rum amuck, including two rival political tv talk show hosts fucking.Another interesting one was a bunch of people staying in a park, and resorting to cannibalism to survive, spooky shit. I do remember the neet story too. I enjoyed the book a lot.
The neet samurai and the blind gardener were my favorite story.I loved how it was revealed in the end that the sword the neet stole from the apartment to save himself belonged to the gardener's son.
>>223808248The US had a plan in place, they only just did the first step because cutting corners. The Israelis weren't even the first with knowledge. Since the ZSG is in the timeline that history all happened.
>>223805704Battle of Yonkers.Battle of Hope was just an aggressively boring trudge narratively speaking, which was the point. Getting flashy with it would defeat the purpose
>>223808489yeah, but the idea of a stream of zombies way past the horizon ending in a mountain of dead zombies would also be interesting thing to see.
>>223805466is this the one where they paired pitt with an ugly wife? and it was pure zombie kino.
>>223808019Try not to question it too much. It's pretty well implied that the virus that made the WWZ zombies was effectively something supernatural ranging somewhere between an alien species to a curse from a ancient Chinese god of death.
>>223808522yes, the one where the kind of shit southpark episode based on the movie was better then the actual movie.
>>223808544Yep, WWZ zombies break several laws of physics.
>>223805440I'd really love an anthology series of the interviewer traveling to meet with the witnesses, have the documentary format of the interview, then a reconstruction with voiceover and diagetic, capped off by a current-day followup of the events that took place. The downed pilot one, led by her own subconscious to safety through hallucination, could be a cool fakeout ghost story.
>>223808514I'm not saying it wouldn't be interesting, but the battle itself is pretty boring and would be pretty easy to film.
i thought this was cool initially, then the author came up with some dogshit explanation about why firearms/weapons wouldnt work in tyhis scenario lmao
>>223808670Firearms did work. You're an illiterate idiot kek. Keep working on that reading comprehension, kiddom
>>223808670>>223808729Bombs and artillery were the ones that did not work against the zombies, so it's even more retarded
>>223808670But they did work, the book has a entire plotline about a pajeet general who used line infantry tactics to fuck up a shitload of zombies but only got beaten because they ran out of bullets.
>>223808794I thought they did work but it was just not very cost effective. Like much better to just use scatter shot than predator missles.
>>223805440I will never understand the normie obsession with zombies.
>>223808822Brooks was making commentary on the American MIC. The book was written in the early 2000s. The warrior interlink program or whatever that causes the soldiers to witness each other being eaten was based on silly expensive useless shit marketed in the news back then. It is pretty stupid if you think about it, but zombies are stupid.
>>223808873What's hard to understand?It's simultaneously an excuse to slaughter massive amounts of people while also dealing with the horror of seeing your love ones corrupted and turned against you.
>>223808873Let me guess, you like vampires and werewolves? Wowie, you're so cool
Pic related was one of the first images I saved when I first found /b/. I didn't even know who Max Brooks was, I just thought it was a funny image. About 5 years ago I tried reading the book and had to stop at the Battle of Yonkers because Max Brooks is a terrible writer and, indeed, a faggot.
>>223805998>>223808522The duality of man
>>223805911>Again, I wish they would have included a trigger warning to save your delicate sensibilities.these jdf niggas getting zesty! the whole 'fake being a right wing dad who actually loves the jews!' thing must not have shown positive results. Keep cracking that whip Kraft, you'll figure it out
>>223808522>UglyYou are obviously gay
>>223805440I remember Brad Pitt drinking pepsi in this movie.
>>223808999This image has always been silly because it misses the point of the series. The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z make little to no effort to try and portray the zombies as realistic other than to make them shambling, and if anything, it frequently doubles down to fully recognize that their biology is contrived.
>>223808999>Upset AmericanAny media which portrays Americans suffering is perfect viewing for the rest of the normal, modern world of regular non-mass shooting human beings.
Reminder that the author, Max Brooks, appeared on the show Deadliest Warriors for the Zombies vs Vampires episode and also wrote a minecraft book (that's just a thinly disguised survival guide for kids)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDd4xikL4Ig
>>223805440If you're in France, just go outside and watch it in 3d.
>>223805440the audiobook is "cinematographic". that should be enough.
>>223805440It's honestly just not a very good book, there's like two, maybe three interesting sections like the interview with the soldier from the Battle of Yonkers, but that's not enough to fill a feature-length adaptation.
>>223807711>There is always a "why the fuck did they do it that way?" thing in zombie stuff.Because if there weren't there wouldn't be a movie. The reality is that zombie stuff is so ingrained into culture now that if anything even remotely similar happened it'd be contained and dealt with in a matter of days or weeks, not turn into some out of control apocalypse.
>>223808021>>obamaNo. Colin Powell. At the time the book was written, Obama still wasn't the obviously anointed candidate.
>>223805466purely from mexican pesos, south korean won, and russian rublesa third world brand for third world peoples
>>223805645>nothing to see here, goy >>223806101>you are le woke, goy
>>223805704Yonkers. Would love to see the downed pilot and Paris catacombs chapters, though. They actually scared me when I read the book.
>>223808822Yeah that makes no sense, you just have to pretend it does. Artillery and bombs vaporize people, theyd do the same to corpses. Its not like being at the center of a bombing site leaves your body intact. The corpses look like exploded grapefruit. Even mortars which are pretty small just leave giblets eeverywhere. Yonkers wouldn't have happened the way it did, the way its presented the bombing runs did very little, but even if they were more resistant to explosions theyd be fucked up massively and the shock wave would destroy their brains in their skulls or at least stop them from moving forward. The book treats them as basically explosion proof.
>>223806715It's left open, the Worst Koreans can do nothing but speculate on it because none of them are willing to cross the DMZ to check in on the besties.
>>223808019It's been a long time since I read it but I seem to recall things like the artillery and airstrikes having a lot of initial success against the zombies for those specific reasons, particularly when they were packed up tightly on the interstate, but the problem was that they had to stop after a while to resupply and there were still millions upon millions of zombies following behind them, with more being drawn to the noise all the time.Those zombies were on the troops and armor long before they could get the planes back in the air, and that was the main problem. They had things that worked against them, but not enough of it.
>>223808794I thought that shit did, it was things like tank shells that weren't as effective because they were all packing HEAT instead of fletchettes/sabot, so they'd go through a line of them or blow up a few but they'd still have hundreds left around the impact site.
>>223809615What makes the book standout is that it's probably one of the most heartfelt and down to earth portrayals of both a apocalypse and a post apocalypse, and it's method of delivery is pretty unique.The best line in the book is probably "Want a root beer?", and there was a lot of set up for that line to have meaning because the context for it was delivered close to the beginning.
I could maybe understand most of the Warnings chapter things happening in real life, like people smuggling their infected family under piles of heavy clothes and crates with air holes, infected people going to first world countries through third world ones and the first cases and victims happening in rural or remote areas with them being blamed on tribalistic third world hijinks and chimpout killingsHell I can even believe the Iran vs Pakistan but not Pakistan vs IndiaWhat I found retarded was most of the "Fightback" chapters>muh new super secret recipe zombie proof suits>muh new standardized rifle that somehow hasn't been invented even though it's better than everything ever made before>muh decimations and fearmongering working>muh zombies surviving crushing depth of the ocean floor (addressed but hilariously not answered KEK)>muh zombies surviving freezing, organ destruction and everything that should be fatal to the body>people ditching guns keeping every contact with zombies at a safe distance by hand to hand larping faggotry>the whole pissrael self wank>frognigger self pity and self wank over muh catacooombs>celebrity hate self wank cringe chapter >teasing nork underground zombie kino and a bunch of other way more interesting things but never delivering>wheelchair fag & dog fucker chapters>iron maiden square formation cringe Unironically the best chapters were the Chink sub, the Cuban guy, the Smuggler and the concept of people surviving in castles (not the part about ditching guns for swords) and the International Space StationEverything else is cliched like Yonkers or not built up enough to become interesting, like the Radio ships and early cases, or what happened to places like Mexico, NorKorea and JapanUnironically zombie outbreaks felt more realistic and feasable in the Zombie Survival Guide, which somehow exists in the WWZ universe yet nobody knew what a zombie was or how to learn from that guide.
>>223810673>>muh new standardized rifle that somehow hasn't been invented even though it's better than everything ever made beforeit's not better for human vs. human warfare, it's designed for engaging zombies accurately and effectively at long ranges. No military had a reason to design a rifle that had no purpose except headshotting slow moving people at as long a distance as feasible before the zombies came
>>223810742Hello Max BrooksMuh AK-47 better than M4 amirite?
>>223810673Another retard demanding fictional creatures be explained thoroughly like they're actually real he's going through some doctoral level research paper. Nothing needs to be addressed. They can survive freezing and being in the ocean. That's all you need to know. Now stop being a moron whining "but dats nut reelleesteek!" about fucking zombies of all things
>>223808939Once you have seen one zombie film, you've seen them all.
>>223810955Yeah man the chapter where they cleared all zombies off Australia using dragons while Metallica blasted from an M1 Abrams tank was my favorite chapter too
>>223805440>wide appeal>2026come on nowIt was already very dated in the Bush era by the time the movie came out
>>223810673>>muh zombies surviving crushing depth of the ocean floor (addressed but hilariously not answered KEK)>muh zombies surviving freezing, organ destruction and everything that should be fatal to the bodyIf you're hung up on these, then you're already way too filtered to enjoy the book.Zombies don't exist, Anon. They're not real. Neither are vampires or werewolves. They're a fictional paranormal horror monster.The reality is, and anyone who does the math comes to this inevitable conclusion, is that it's impossible for a real fluid contracted pandemic to realistically cause any sort of apocalypse. For the fiction to work, there needs to be some element that makes the infected paranormally strong or durable. And one of the things the book hammers down on repeat is that the zombies aren't invincible, but they are definitely not bound by normal physical limitations.
If you're gonna cop out with magical zombies that do all kinds of bullshit, you better have a badass lich going around raising the dead in your story. Otherwise you're a faggot, a piss poor writer and, some would say, a redditor.
>>223811934Stories operate with self imposed restraints.The zombies in WWZ are stupid. That's just what they are.
>>223805440It would probably be better as an anthology series. Maybe Apple could do it. Zombies are cool and have wide appeal so it is marketable. I hope to God this is given a proper adaptation.
It wasn't a good book. Every story and character felt and sounded the same.
>>223811934>you better have a badass lich going around raising the dead in your storyThe lich in WWZ was the Solanum virus. It was a paranormal entity that was great at it's job, but it wasn't a smart one and that's why it lost.You can accept that, or don't.
