Marc Forster is moving from action spy territory to an apocalypse of the undead.

The "Quantum of Solace" director is set to helm "World War Z", the film adaptation of Max Brooks's best-selling and politically charged novel about a worldwide infestation of flesh-eating zombies reports Variety.

The book is a collection of first person accounts of various survivors from around the globe a decade after a zombie pandemic first emerged from the Three Gorges Dam area in China in the 2010s and proceeded to decimate the globe.

The accounts involve not just some diverse stories of battles for survival, but the religious, geo-political, and environmental implications that came with the plague.

"Changeling" scribe and "Babylon 5" creator J. Michael Straczynski is writing the screenplay, and Brad Pitt's Plan B is producing.
 
As long as we have some slow shambling Zombies this time. I've had enough of the speedy variety. Oh and hope they keep George A. Romero far, far away from it. ;)

Having read the book, it could be something epic on the big screen. :)
 
George Romero is in the middle of filming "Island of the Dead" (tentative title), his latest zombie epic. I can't wait for it. :)

Running zombies. Walking zombies. I love them all. :)
