@movieweb, I try to post a comment and now I'm being told that I'm a spammer by the site. Any idea what's up with that?

@dan1@narrator That's what they should have done in the first place, a miniseries instead of making a movie. but I still have hope in this and i'm sure being that it won't be released this December, we might still get a trailer by that time. *fingers crossed*

@narrator@ghostman Instead of a movie or trilogy of movies, I still think a half hour-45 minute per episode miniseries on HBO or Showtime would have been the superior way to go about it. Like a Band of Brothers treatment kinda deal. But as explained, with the Spy Games format.

@narrator Not sure if it's been rated R or not; but I have heard that the movie is very similar to Children of Men and that the script is Best Picture worthy of nabbing a nomination. Also their's been word of this becoming a trilogy that will soon evolve into a cross between TWD and the Bourne films. If The Walking Dead could get away with all of it's bloody zombie gore on AMC, i'm sure the action/violence in WWZ for it's Yonkers sequence will be satisfying to watch.

Exactly what @dan1 said, @ghostman. They could have, very easily. they just didn't want to. they apparently didn't have enough faith in the source materials representation of the zombie infection, the audience's ability to follow things not like the typical "save the world now, or we all die"/"up to one man" stories, or both. So yeah, kinda disappointed here, but I hope the film is fantastic regardless. And yeah, the Battle of Yonkers will be pretty hard core... this was confirmed R, right? Because if the studios, for one second, try to get it to be a PG-13 film, then this project will go up in flames in regards to realism.

As always, Tom Cruise has to push away another movie as if it was katie Holmes. No point on pushing back movies, most movies push back still sucks. Example: Dragonball Evolution

I hope there's a good reason for pushing back "WWZ." They gave no reasons in this article for this delay.

hate to see them get pushed back but for TMNT i can see this as beneficial, kids on winter break will flock to this if it looks good

@ghostman Yes, if done right, it would have been great. Did you ever see Spy Games? (Which also featured Brad Pitt, coincidentally). Throughout the movie they are interviewing Robert Redford's character, and it worked just fine. Apply that same approach, except with a zombie apocalypse, there you go. But they didn't want to do that.

@dan1@narrator
About the plot synopsis, yeah it's a different but could you really see them make a movie featuring a whole bunch of interviews? I only hope to god that they include the Battle of Yonkers as a big action scene!

@corey -
Not sure about @dan1, but I'm not so much pissed about the push back (quality is time, I won't complain) as I am about the released synopsis. Sounds like they won't be going the unique route the book took... son of a bitch.
