I think both versions are really good. I'm slightly more interested in watching the film now.

Yeah, but instead of hippies making GBS threads on cop cars and raping women in tent cities after drug deals, it's got walls of hive-mind zombies ripping everything to shreds.

Yeah good idea, you loving braying jackass, spin the movie posters thread into political territory. That's very much a recipe for success and one of the Seven Habits of Good Posters.

Marc Forster is very hit or miss when it comes to the execution of his film's concepts. The ant colony/tidal wave imagery is really interesting though, so here's hoping he pulls it off this time.

If you've read anything about it's production you'd know he was a poor choice. Sounds like a loving disaster.

I'm just wondering why they bothered basing it on or naming it after World War Z, since I don't recall that book mentioning anything about ant zombies. World War Z was pretty much just a straightforwards Romero rip-off except told in a more realistic documentary style.

I like the idea of what they're doing with the film, but calling it "World War Z" at this point, with the direction they've taken it, is meaningless.
It might not explicitly call the zombies ant zombies, but I think the ant-zombie concept is a pretty natural extrapolation of the description of the zombies in the book(s), who mindlessly pursue people to eat, whether that entails going straight over the edge of a building or trampling their fellow zombie. The movie is also international in scope, from what the trailers have shown us (Jerusalem is featured as more than just a quick glimpse at least, and Russia seeems like another location.), which I think is a pretty important part of any adaption of "World War Z". Whether the movie is going to be any good is another question entirely, but I don't think the use of the "World War Z" name is completely unjustified.

Honestly, based on the trailer and A Buttery Pastry's description of the book, the zombies seem to be an avatar of mindless consumerism. That's not an especially new or controversial take on the genre though.

I think you have to blame nature for that one, not the artist. Mark Hamill is literally melting at this point. Honestly he made Fisher look way less melty than she actually does.

Carrie Fisher is going to have to get back on the coke horse if she wants to look presentable enough to appear in any of the next trilogy films.

I saw her at the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne last year, and.....good god. Good god.

Of all the things that coukd have been on that poster, the final choice ended up being the worst.

I don't even know how people are supposed to connect that image with the movie. It would have made more sense to depict a huge syringe stuck into a heart, instead.

Yeah, I've gotta say, he made Carrie Fisher look a lot nicer than she does in real life at this point.

I'm also not sure why he drew William H. Macy instead of Mark Hamill.

I'm actually kind of on the verge of admiring its trash aesthetic. Like they picked the ugliest scene in the movie with the most pop-culture baggage ever, condensed it to one repellent image and rendered it in the most garish, amateurish, "I just found paint.exe" style. If they had turned up the jpg artifacting a bit and maybe had the circle be obviously off with like a little yellow bleed at the edges, I would genuinely like it as a sort of internet-naïve piece.

I always wanted to see a movie about a post-zombie society. And not the lovely fiefdom of Land of the Dead. A real resurrected day-to-day civilisation.

If you're UK there's In The Flesh on BBC Three, that's about a medicated and rehabilitated zombie moving back in with his parents.

I've probably seen Pulp Fiction 40 times and I swear to god I had no idea what this was after 10 minutes of looking at it. If its snorting heroine, why is heroine a triangle? The snorting of heroine is such a minor thing in this movie, I mean it leads to one of the more memorable scenes but it really has no impact on the plot of the film at all. I really hate these posters that take one minor thing from a movie and make a whole poster based on it just so people can see it and say "Oh, I get it! I remember that" and think they're clever. I think I've seen a poster for this movie that just had the Big Kahuna Burger logo on it or something. Gettin mad at posters here.

Yeah but it doesn't deserve a whole poster to represent the movie. It's a cool memorable thing but its totally inconsequential.

I think the original poster for the movie is pretty much perfect in capturing the tone anyway. Just stick with what works.

Well, suppose you bought the rights to Jurassic Park. You throw out everything but the dinosaurs, but you change them to just flying dinosaurs.

In paying for the book rights but not using the book, no one else can make the movie about the T-Rex and the velociraptors terrorizing people in a genetic experiment theme park.
