One which strays quite a bit from the source material. For good or worse I can't tell.

And another which seems to go astray for the classic zombie flick. (Necrophilia?)

Which movie has jumped the shark?

Brad Pitt doing a zombie movie? Wow, Angelina Jolie really screws with your mind. I'd watch it. I like fast zombies and shoot em ups.

The second one is a rather original idea. I would watch that for the story.

warm bodies actually looks interesting though the story line seems like it's going to be kinda predictable. Still...its something unique, which is new for hollywood

Boy meets girl
Boy decides not to eat girl's brain
Girl finds that works for her
Parents don't like him
Three way battle between skeletons, zombies and humans breaks out

That old chestnut.

Rob Cordry is hysterical.

Warm Bodies looks amazing. I will own that movie. I like non-traditional, non-sequitor zombie films like Fido, and this seems right up my alley.

The War Z. No. Just simply, no. Max Brooks should protest the film and then fake his death because his name is now unfortunately attached to what looks to be the worst zombie film of all time.

^ I concur, Fido was a fantastic film. I'm not sold on World War Z, but I will probably watch it. Can't be any worse than half of the stuff they are popping out these days.

I´m not a big fan of action movies that include the whole family. But it looks alright.

The other one kind of reminds of twilight, but less gayer. But it will probably entertain me.

I think we need something like 28 days later, mixed with resident evil.

This. The remake of War of the Worlds could have been awesome, but they had to stick a stereotypical disrespectful teenager and a stereotypcal screaming girl in it, which kept it from greatness. Even the Great Fail of Tom Cruise Himself didn't hold a candle to the ruination that was Dakota Fanning's ceaselessly shreiking helplessness.

I feel completely opposite on this. I like non traditional too but Warm Bodies looks too Not Another Teen Movie meets Idle Hands -ish to me. I dont think I would even watch that movie because it is so predictable and is a corny love story that would never happen (not that zombies could either but you get my point). I hate alot of movies like this and I refuse to watch them. Nice concept but Ill skip it. War Z looks way better. Zombies are fast and use their strength in numbers in a way which we havent seen before. I dont care for Brad Pitt, but it looks more terrifying and suspenseful than some romantic comedy.

<secretly digs chick flicks. Don't tell anybody, K?

It drives my wife crazy. She get's pissed off and yells at the girl for being stupid and roots for the guy to run away. I'm on the couch next to her tearing up like a b****.

I'm not gonna lie, I'll watch both of them. +1 for not liking entire families in the film, but whatever.

World War Z kinda looks like starship troopers, except on earth with zombies instead of some other planet with bugs.

Kristen Stewart plays a zombie in every movie she is cast.

Seriously... her facial expression never changes. She took the whole "Blue Steel" thing a bit too seriously.

Those both look very entertaining and I'll probably get around to seeing them. Funny though, I was thinking to myself, "man, its been a while since a good zombie movie has come out."

Did anyone see the trailer for Hansel and Gretle?
Plots pretty thin, but it seems like it will be highly entertaining.

Look at that face!

Look at the oscar winning emotion!

What her career needs is a custom rad-iator.

I'm pretty pissed about WWZ as well. It is really, a completely different movie than the book and shouldn't even be allowed to call itself WWZ.
