| I heard at some Border's that a movie adaptation on Max Brook's World War Z is in production. I just picked up the book and so far it's epic, so to thoose of you that have read the book, what are your thoughts on a movie version? |

| Dumb idea. Chances are it will come out as some over the top Hollywood movie that barely relates to the story at all. To be honest I don't know how they'd translate it to the screen unless they did it in sort of a 'mockumentary' style (looks like a documentary but is all fiction). |

| Cloverfield didn't really turn out well.. District 9 did it real well. But ..I would assume it could be done well if Max is there to tell them how the scenes will work and whatnot.. |

If Max is on board and oversees the script writing process then I'll definately give it a chance. If it's processed by a bunch of money grabbing studio execs then I won't be to bothered. It seems these days that just because a book is amazing they think it will work as a movie. |

Yonkers is the name of a city in New Jersey in World War Z that the US uses as a sort of "Alamo", if you know what I meen. I'm saying that the battle of Yonkers would look great in the movie. |

Judging from the Puerto Rican flag and the "coqui" part of your name I coulda guessed I'm puerto rican but have never been there, what are the couqui frogs like? ( Sorry bout off topic) I thought Cloverfield and District 9 were both great movies, though CF was a little stupid at times. |

Not a good combination at all... There doesn't seem to be to much information on WWZ at the moment; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816711/ . It's supposed to be out this year though which seems extremely unlikely if theres no casting rumours or anything! |
