I just noticed that Brad Pitt has completed filming the big screen adaptation of "World War Z". Script supposed to be excellent (although very different to the book). The book is brilliant, so really looking forward to the film. I though filming had been stalled for 6 months? yeah the script is of a survivor living through the epidemic rather than of a oral history transcribing the events. Or at least that's what a few of my geek sites have been talking the script up as. Physical filming is complete - Glasgow (IIRC) doubling for Philadelphia. I was hoping it would be a Citizen Kane type structure, with various different characters flashbacking to the war - although flashbacks always reduce drama as one knows the story teller is going to survive.

It's official - I've caved into my inner geek... Started writing a zombie apocolypse novel of sorts today based on the premise of "what if the only way to survive is to behave like a total c*nt?" (along the lines of Shane in Walking Dead).
No title as yet but will be set entirely in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. And why not?

I've created either one of the best characters in the history of literature, or one of the worst... ;)
A happily divorced real estate agent who only cares about winning - in this case winning by surviving the zombie holocaust. Will happily leave others to die if it will increase his chances of getting away. Certainly won't share the location of his perfect little zombie fortress with anyone else...
Initially hopes to outlast the plague - wait for them all to rot away - then realises this will take years and sets about to reclaim suburbia one street at a time with an ornamental samurai sword or two.
"THE WALKING C*NT" is on the way.
Later, decides that other survivors should have the protection of his fortress - but only after they prove they are worthy - by bringing him proof that they have killed 10 zombies.
The fortress soon starts to look like Project Mayhem and a small group of near psychotics plan on over throwing the zombie multitudes.

"The Walking C*nt"...is it about zombies, man-eating vaginas, Rosie O'Donnell or Collingwood fans?

I actually started writing one a while ago. Based around a school and how a few grade twelve students would attempt to survive. This thread has made me want to go back to it, but I'm going to start again because I've got some fresh ideas.

Started writing, got out the first chapter already. Had what I think is a brilliant idea before I started, it's safe to say I've never seen anything like it before.
