Hollywood frequently buy the rights to a book or other form of media and changes things, characters, narrative, etc.....
Especially if they develop it as a big budget blockbuster like this appears to be. I think the mentaility is, they like the basic concept and the built in awareness a popular book or other form of media brings. Built in audience. It sounds like the book would be hard to get right as a straight adaptation. |

Just look at how many people actually died from Swine Flu and how quickly that was quarantined. Zombies have no chance, unless it is airborne/water spread. |
whoops, missed the first part there h5n1.

I'm a fan of fast moving zombies, but the way they were moving in this trailer doesn't do it for me. When they're all jumping over each other and stuff it just doesn't look right. Like when they were flipping the bus over and climbing up that huge wall- I could do without that. |

I mean... if you want crazy zombies, look for a ****ing resident evil movie.
and it wasn't the battle of yonkers, it was the slow march east IIRC. the battle of yonkers is where they realized that all the firepower in their arsenal wasn't SHIT against the zombies. |

I don't need mutated freak zombies. I thought Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days/Weeks pulled it off perfectly. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that. |
It's been a while since I've read the book, my expectations were that it would be grossly adapted, but I am hoping for some spots of humor/cliche and not a super serious zombie movie. That's what it looks like though.

I dont get the disdain for fast zombies, it ups the ante in a big way.

I don't mind fast zombies, but when it looks like you got tidal waves of zombies in the movie that looks a little silly.
