Everything We Know About The World War Z Sequel So Far
video description
this seems also to be present among most of the zombie storylines too.
so then, there-in this lies the secret moving forward. ships to sea, and the conquest of islands.
in my storyline, a unnamed federal intelligence agency informs a quietly sequestered US president of the emerging situation surrounding a specific military installation in rural, backwater china, and how it has lead to the complete mobilization of the the chinese military, and the use of a nuclear device to contain the spread. unsuccessfully.
the chinese have suspended all internal flights (and travel, and the US first, then the rest of the world cut off or divert flights from china, then the orient.
the president (without the discussed content of the briefing) has recalled ALL military personnel, then activated ALL guards and reserves. all military bases and posts go on lockdown, all ships are set to sea. seeing china, then the US (and israel, followed by britain and russia. the whole world begins to assume the same posture.
we also see the president in visited by a young man from canada, a phone conference with the brits prime minister, and on the display we see someone older resembling putin. the word is out.
this concludes the forestory.
volume one focuses on the sweep of the virus once it finds its way into the US. SURVIVAL. we only begin to identify what actually has happened, and still has happened, as well as what this virus might be.
volume two focuses on important questions as it focuses on what the virus is, what is doing, and what exactly the infected are becoming. also it speaks of who the humans are and will become, as well as what must they do next to survive. which involves the reconquest of islands. .focusing on the san juan islands, the vancouver island in the west.
volume three is the game changer. we now understand the infected are rapidly mutating into a new and distinct species via an engineered retro-virus. but identifying a set of dominant genes proves problematic, because they're foreign to any species yet discovers, on earth. having gained the upper hand on the infected, we see a new collective and devious intelligence emerge among the infected. then we do catch a hint of its origin, and potentially its purpose. also of why it began in china. and this is no longer just a zombie movie anymore.

IMHO, the one thing they must NOT do, is reprise the plot of the first movie. We have so many examples of why this is important, yet the studios and financial backers in Hollywood time and again push sequels in the wrong direction. They are by nature risk averse, but fail to recognize that repetition is the greater risk. I hold out Aliens as an example of a good sequel, and Alien: Covenant as a bad sequel.
George Romero really set the standard for zombie genre sequels, and I think to be successful, WWZ2 will need to emulate the broad strokes. That is, the first movie was about the spread of the infection, but the second movie will need a different pacing, and a distinctly different story arc. For WWZ2, the frenetic sequence of disasters and escapes, needs to be replaced with a well thought out expedition into a world where the zombies are virtually everywhere.

World war z shouldve never been a movie in the 1st place. The 1st movie had nothing to do with the source material besides the name. On top of that the book can not be well adapted to a movie format. What they shouldve done was make it an tv mini series. With the books chapters / interviews being broken up into different episodes. Episodes would start with the beginning of the interview after the war, like in the book. Then flash back into the story the person being interviewed story. With brief flash forwards to the interview for clarification. If it was done this way you could show the over all view of the war that the book shows. Plus if it does really well and they want to continue they could always add new interview subjects. It wouldnt even have to be done chronologically Bc all of the show is happening after the war has ended.

80 years ago, H. G. Wells, was an English writer who wrote; (Things to Come) a 1936 British black-and-white science fiction film from United Artists. From the plot: Humanity enters a new Dark Age. Every city in the world is in ruins and there is little technology left apart from weapons of war. In 1966 a biological weapon called the wandering sickness is used by the enemy's greatly depleted air force in a final desperate bid for victory after the total defeat of their army and navy. Dr. Harding and his daughter struggle to find a cure, but with little equipment it is hopeless. The plague kills half of humanity and extinguishes the last vestiges of central government.

Hahahahaha, WWZ was crap. It was PG-13, had three (four at the most) situations from the book and was a terrible crowd pleaser in the form of a U. N message about Family) brought to us by America's wannabe QB Football star Brad Pitt. If the sequel doesn't have Yonkers, NY. or Canadian cannibalism featuring frozen zombies then who cares. Max Brooks was not pleased.

This movie should never had been named, World War Z. Total blasphemy on the fantastic book it was supposed to be based upon.
With Max Brooks helping with the writing on the sequel, I have my fingers crossed that it's actually worth watching. However, I would still be thrilled with a complete reboot to make it as fantastic as the book was.

World War Z is one of the few zombie movies that shows the rising action of out real and chaos. Far too many movies spent such little time on that situation or skipped it all together and I hate it because its the most interesting part of the plot. Otherwise you have complete boring-ness like Walking Dead.

The first movie was garbage and I'm sorry but anyone that liked it just likes garbage movies and more than likely thinks all those Fast and Furious movies are awesome and that Jurassic World was the pinnacle of great film making LMAO! Make a HBO series out of all the short stories from the book and thank me later.

He's talking about the first film as if it's a loved, or even liked, film. There is No anticipation for the sequel. Maybe curiosity.
Being hyped or even mildly looking forward for this film is like a man in a health clinic excited about his confirmation that he has Aids or not

I thought the first World war z was a decent PG rated zombie flick until that shit ending where if you were sick, you were literally invisible to the zombies. That killed it for me. A shit twist that removed any tension or fear and made the movie into a comedy for me at the end.
