(상식-022) (Movies) World War Z

[Write 2 Speak]

World War Z is a zombie horror film about zombies taking over the world. It is loosely based on the best-selling novel of the same name written by Max Brooks. The movie stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a worker at the United Nations who searches the world for information that can stop the zombie outbreak that is threatening the survival of the human race. The official website says: "United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to decimate humanity itself." Brad Pitt's film production company Plan B Entertainment bought the movie rights to make the film in 2007. Filming began in 2011 in Malta, Glasgow and Budapest.

Writer of the original book, Max Brooks, said his work has been re-written so much that the movie and novel are now the same in name only. Brooks said: "I knew they were going to rewrite it. I grew up in Hollywood. I knew it was going to go through a million changes." He told moviegoers: "I cannot guarantee that the movie will be the book that they love." Many critics questioned why the movie was advertised as a horror film, when it was given a 13-PG (parental guidance) rating. There was also much talk about the movie being unable to recover its $400 million production costs. Britain's 'Guardian' newspaper examined whether Pitt was "making the most expensive disaster of all time" while the film was being made.
