Forster Ready For 'World War Z'
Acclaimed directors have been signing on for some strange projects lately (yeah, I’m talking to you Kenneth Branagh – you Thor-whore) and today Hollywood is continuing this tradition. According to Variety director Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball, Stranger than Fiction, Quantum of Solace) has signed on to direct a big-screen adapt of Max Brooks’ World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. Brooks, the son of comedic genius Mel Brooks and Academy Award-nominated actress Anne Bancroft, is a bit of a zombie aficionado, as in addition to World War Z (which I highly recommend) he’s also penned The Zombie Survival Guide. WWZ focuses on a researcher for the U.N. Postwar Commission interviewing survivors from countries all over the world ten years after the crisis, to gather a first-person post-mortem on a war that obliterated every country on the map. The screenplay for the film is currently being penned by J. Michael Straczynski. Looks like the zombie renaissance continues, which is fortunate – because if I see another set of vampire fangs, I’m gonna lose it!
