It kind of speaks volumes to the current state of Hollywood when you need to staple on the name of some other property to get your zombie movie, or your sci-fi/military action movie made. People are going to show up for a zombie movie regardless of what you call it, I mean they made a movie called Cockneys vs. Zombies for fuck sake, and if they bothered to promote it and show it at theaters, it might have actually made money.

I couldn't agree more. The book is one of the most gripping and amazing things I've ever read and was instantly disappointed when I heard they were making it a movie. Please leave the things I love alone Hollywood. I still haven't forgiven you for taking I Am Legend and turning it into a Will Smith talks about Bob Marley jerk fest. That movie missed the whole point of why it was called I Am Legend. Incredible...
Oh and fast zombies AREN'T
FUCKING ZOMBIES.
