Fans, journalists and celebrities all got the chance to catch an early screening of World War Z last night, and as you can see from the assortment of Tweets below, the reaction so far has been overwhelmingly positive. While it does appear as if it takes some liberties with the source material, this is good news for the movie which has reportedly been plagued by production problems for almost as long as it's been shooting. Of course, regardless of the response, the fact that the budget apparently ended up increasing dramatically may mean that World War Z struggles to be a hit at the box office (especially as Paramount haven't done the best of jobs marketing it so far, leading many to be unsure as to what the film is even about). Are you guys looking forward to it?
































The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. Enos plays Gerry’s wife Karen Lane; Kertesz is his comrade in arms, Segen.


STARRING:

Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane
Mireille Enos as Karin
James Badge Dale as Captain Speke
Lucy Aharish as ???
Julia Levy-Boeken as ???

Brad Pitt reaching out to some his celebrity friends to get this movie on the publics good side... I can't forgive this production for completely sodomizing such a solid novel.

This looked great anyway, the reviews haven' made any difference to my decision to see this first day of release.

Fast Zombies are bloody terrifying.

@CAVEL

I disagree,MOS will be very front loaded with fans showing up in mass opening weekend.Monsters University will do the same thing the next week because the family audiences will have been starved for content for over a month since EPIC opened.

None of the core audience for Monsters will be in play for WWZ,but I would add that after seeing the forth MOS trailer, that film will lose family audiences who will think the film is too intense for younger kids.

That leaves a big chunk of viewers who will have rushed out to see MOS opening weekend needing another tent pole movie fix.

While I want MOS to get lots of repeat business, I doubt a lot of folks will do that choosing to move on to the next big release and waiting for MOS to hit Blu ray.

Brad Pitt is a huge draw to female audiences,a group that tends to be underserved during the summer season (See Star Trek ITD) and if the marketing makes WWZ a combination of beefcake (Brad Pitt) and a lot of jump out of your seat moments,
WWZ could oddly enough become a form of counter programing for MOS among women.

It looked crap from the first images.

Wow - I really should not have watched that trailer. Oh well, no need to see the film now I guess.

That's nice, but every movie, regardless of how crappy it is, has these tweet reviews the next day. And let's be honest, people like Katie Couric, Ivanka Trump, and Deborah Norville are not the people who's taste in movies I trust.

Plus, it could be that they're just giving it good press because Pitt was there and many of these reviews are from people who know him personally. I'll be damned if I'm ever going to publicly pan a buddy of mine's work, especially if he was cool enough to let me into the advance screening.

I guarantee you could find just as many "positive" tweets about Green Lantern.

@Beatnation Its one thing if you say IM3 is crap as your opinion, but your saying it likes its fact. It got positive first reviews because it was enjoyed by the vast majority of the general audience as well as critics. It had its flaws and wasn't what I expected, but it was very far away from crap.

PartyKiller - 5/23/2013, 4:15 AM
@Beatnation Haha! IM3 was really bad.

But WWZ is like a wildcard.
Either the public will go crazy for it or it will be an average grossing summer film.
It could be huge internationally considering the story is a WW ever.

WWZ, MOS and The Wolverine will be the only great Summer films.

Got to love the DC pups still yelping about IM3. It's so sad that you can't get your head around the fact that the general public as well as many comic book fans loved the movie.

I know it hurts that you only have one movie to look forward to and Marvel keeps raping DC over and over but you are starting to look pathetic now.

It's also funny how DC fans are paning this movie because they fear it will steal box office from MoS. What a bunch of sad sacks. I bet you all will believe the twitter feeds from MoS if it's positive.

M.O.S is the only D.c movie coming out in the next two years, i kinda wonder what you D.c fans would do next year.
kadetra
kadetra - 5/23/2013, 5:06 AM
IM3 might not be a great movie but at least it is better than almost all non Nolan D.c movies.
kadetra
kadetra - 5/23/2013, 5:12 AM
it would be funny if Thor a C-list character makes more money than Superman.

Glad to hearthe film is good. Ilove the trailers and look of it.

I wish they'd titled it something else so the book could be turned into an anthology on a cable network the one and only way the book should be adapted faithfully

As far as MOS goes I've no doubt it'll break 300mil but I'm thinking good word of mouth will propel it to 400
