World War Z

First trailer out - looks insane. If you thought that the zombies in 28 days later were fast, you aint seen nothing yet!

Spoiler:

That looks crazy and a little bit scary...i'm going to take my wife to watch it.

Out of interest - Do zombies need to breathe?

No zombies don't need to breathe. Although you will have derivatives of 'zombies' none that I have 'encountered' thus far have required said ability.

I recommend the book 'World War Z' to any 'Z' loving fans out there. Doesn't look like they have stuck to the storyline of the book at all but just used the name.

In the book there are zombies in the water and they are the slow shuffling variety.

There is also a zombie underwater which has a fight with a shark in Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters.

Yes I said Zombie vs Shark. It really doesnt get more awesome than that!

Spoiler:

The CGI on the zombies look I Am Legend bad. Hope they sort it before release.

28 Days Later was good because it had good acting, had a decent story to it, the infected (or zombies) were frightening. Something all zombie movies had lacked up to this point.

If you think about the footage in that trailer, it looks like the world Danny Boyle created; the barricades being over-run and the spreading of the virus. Although we actually never seen any of those scenes in 28 Days Later it was narrated to the audience. 5 stars for plaguarising Boyle's work. I see this as another poorly executed franchise from the yanks, the ones who come up with 28 Weeks Later, which is a film I rate 1 star.

I personally preferred weeks to days.

And if you want a scary Zombie film, check out the first 10 minutes of the Dawn of the Dead remake - my favourite cinema experience of the last 15 years.

Couldn't sit through Dawn of the Dead, too rubbish. Not my type of films. I enjoy ones that make you use your noggin, Chris Nolan's work for example.

28 Weeks Later had quite a powerful and nightmarish opening 10 minutes, but the rest of the film was utter crap in my opinion.

I also really enjoyed REC 1 & 2

I am a huge old school zombie fan - cant think of a 70/80s zombie film I have yet to see!

My wife's best friend played Mirielle Enos' (lead actress) body double during the scenes shot in Glasgow (which is doubling as Philadelphia).

Unfortunately none of these scenes were of the nudie nature and I still have no good reason to see my wife's friend naked.

Shag her senseless get drunk give her a black eye and tell your wife she took advantage of you while you were drunk.

Shag her senseless

Steady on, Shah. I'm in my 30's and even downhill with a following wind, I'm not going to achieve senselessness.

I played Arnie's body double in Conan!!!

"Steady on Shah" I'm sure a few convicts have spewed those immortal words back in the day in IRAN!!!

Lovely Iranian history/political joke, Truss.
