Is Lindelof really the guy we want giving his opinions on endings? Did he watch his ending of Lost?

Re: World War Z
Was Lindelof even involved with the actual writing process? I was under the assumption due to his work on Star Trek and Tomorrowland, that he couldn't do it due to time constraints and it went to Drew Goddard instead.

Re: World War Z
From the trailer I saw today, it was hard to tell that this movie even has zombies in it. Martial law is declared, families are separated, riots and burning, hoards of CG people running and climbing over each other. It's like they are trying to downplay the horror element and sell this as a generic disaster movie.

So this was screen in Jersey last night for the first time. The buzz is actually positive. A lot people saying how shocked they were that it was actually pretty good. But it does lack on gore (if that's important to you).

Re: World War Z
Zombies do a lot of weird things depending on which film it is, so I'm not really hung up on that. Granted, the CGI hordes look absolutely atrocious, but as far as the mechanics of how they're moving go, I can get over it if the movie is good.
Which, as noted above, I've been reading is extremely intense and a lot better than we're all expecting it to be. I still think it's going to bomb, though.

I'm still holding out hope that the book gets the true adaptation it deserves: as a mini series on TV. Doesn't even have to be HBO, cable channels like FX and AMC show plenty of violence and gore.

I guess if the movie is a big success, a studio might want to cash in on it and release a TV series that adapts the book. Although it might depend if the movie made changes to the story that would make a book adaption conflict with the moviee.

If that's the case I feel for the filmmakers. By realizing the ending didn't work and taking the initiative to make the movie the best they could they put themselves in a position that allowed rumors to (possibly) influence the B.O. take. I can see studios in the future leaving a shit film as-is just to save themselves from pre-release public opinion.

Re: World War Z
Damon Lindelof wrote the ending...so be warned.

I don't care what an audience of Joe Six Packs thinks of the movie. This is supposed to be a big dumb summer popcorn movie and it will satisfy the masses.
