The theatrical trailer of Brad Pitt's forthcoming sci-fi "World War Z" has enough glimpses from the movie to give chill-bumps to the viewers, while setting the expectations high on the film.
The trailer shows a wave of zombies overrunning the city and killing the people. Meanwhile, the rest of the uninfected population run for their lives, while US army unleashing the lethal weapons against the running dead: zombies
This film is said to be the most expensive zombie film in history of Hollywood. Given that the film is produced by multi production houses at a whopping cost of $125 million.
The film is inspired by Max Brooks' 2006 best-selling novel "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War." The novel is a first person account about the zombie epidemic.
The story deals with zombie epidemic and revolves around Gerry Lane, played by Brad, is an UN researcher and embarks on a journey to unravel the origin of the zombie virus, in order to save the world.
Visual effects supervisor of World War Z John Nelso said that he did lot of research for designing zombies in a bid to keep them different from the movies that were made in the past.
"They are like predatory animals that can't control themselves," Nelson said to EW.com. "I worked with tigers [while shooting Gladiator], and if you watch them when a horse goes by they go batty, even if they know they can't reach it. When Zs see humans they do same thing, they activate. They launch themselves."
"There are a lot of things in nature we're mining as references. They move like birds or school of fish, too, in reactive formations, and it's not because they have a higher level of [shared] thinking or communication - it's about their nature and the fact that their instinct to infect is so basic, efficient, and overpowering. They will go through anything. If they lose both legs, they will walk on their hands. They lock in and they're like salmon going upstream or sperm swimming to be the first to egg," the website quoted Nelson as saying.
