The screenplay (by Mathew Michael Carnahan and Drew Goddard) is based on Max Brooks’ novel and follows the story of a United Nations agent in the aftermath of a worldwide zombie takeover as he tries to answer questions concerning the new plague. We mostly enjoyed the film’s global scale and Brad Pitt’s serious but also funny character. Read More
