PG-13 simply kills my interest in this project… Good book, great concept, but even AMC\’s \”Walking Dead\” ventures into R-territory with its abrupt violence and creative gore. Must everything be made for children these days? Sheesh.

i completely agree with TheoC. Unless they\’re shooting the biggest action scenes from the book (and the three drafts of the script that I\’ve read don\’t exactly cover those topics) there is no goddamn reason for that kind of budget. Hell, every version of the script (from 3 separate writers) hews far more close to the personal story of the narrator than the globe and years spanning tales of the book.
there was a time when i was very much pulling for this, but now AMC is doing such a great job with The Walking Dead, that I\’d rather Paramount sit on this one until they get it right instead of rushing to get it out before the zombie craze dies again.

No idea why this should be so expensive, unless they got for the full o siege of Yonkers etc. Love this book but would not be against seeing it made on a smaller budget. The teaser trailer for district 9 personally hit the tone any world war z movie should be going for.

Hopefully this delay gets Forster off the project for good. Have the producers seen the wretched Quantum of Solace? Unwatchable action sequences galore.
