Speaking of which, only two scenes drove me nuts in terms of camera-work: The opening car chase and the hanging-from-ropes fight.

This book was vastly different from Zombie stories that have come before it. I seriously recommend you read the book. It really is quite good! :) While it is possible that Forster will stick to one style, and only direct movies in that fashion, it's also possible that with a completely different subject matter, his style will change. How about we wait until a trailer comes out before we rule this movie out? Seriously, you won't be disappointed with the book! Pick it up! It was a truly good read. It was a story about humanity, not horror. Unless they completely deviate from the book, the style of the story will help steer it away from all the crap that is ever present in zombie flicks these days.

Another fast, chopped up action film with little or no time for story or character development. Only this time it isn't Bond or Bourne, It's Zombies! Wait, didn't we already have that with 28 days/weeks later? Rental. (Unless I have free pass laying around) I agree with Vic.

I'll find out what you mean when I see QoS tonight. Why are alot of films using these crazy close-ups all the time, I want to see more on giant theatre screens. Vic,

It's really good. Completely original. It is nothing like Cloverfield. As a book, it worked great. Just a bunch of interviews and stories from different people around the world. Each story, even though from different people, slowly told the story of the Zombie war, and how man fought back. It was amazing. I just don't know how to do it as a movie. Every couple of minutes cut to a different person, then fade into the visual of the story they are telling? It might be hard to do, but I loved that book.

I think this will be an excellent movie, if done right. Also, check out the zombie books (and others) from David Wellington, like Monster Island, etc. Heath I enjoyed the book about 2 years ago!
