World War Z: The Art of the Film

Nice, the book is perfect and no damage of book and it took 2 weeks to get the book. Thank you seller 🤙🏻

Being a avid FX fan, wanted to see the behind the scenes FX and where and how it was done after watching the film WWZ. Open to another sequel maybe later on??? These film support books from titan are an excellent read.

A bit of a disappointment for an “Art of” book; most of the text consists of the full screenplay around which are placed illustrations – mainly film-stills or some digital concept art.As a heavily CGI-based sci-fi thriller most of the movie process had been digitally designed and rendered – there are no examples of the early sketches that must have existed and a lot of the interesting information usually included in a volume like this – story/visual adaptation, make-up, costume, etc., is either very skimpy or non-existent.It works well-enough as a companion to the movie, but it's a let-down for those of us interested in design.It's no wonder there's no “Look inside” option available for this.

I love a great zombie film and whilst I've not had the pleasure of reading World War Z at the moment, I've heard from others that it's a story that will not only keep my Zombie need maxed but also give me a story that I'll just love to spend time immersed in (although I still think Zombies shouldn't run.)What is presented within is a book that brings not only the artwork to life but also takes the reader through the creation of the undead (or as I like to call them Fashion Cat Walk models LOL) as they help bring this dark apocalyptic point of view to the modern viewer. Add to this solid commentary and all round it's a book that I'll be looking through quite a few times. Great stuff.

The media could not be loaded. I'm underwhelmed by this book. It's actually more of a screenplay book accompanied by pieces of artwork.About 80 percent of the pages are devoted to the screenplay. On those pages, the screenplay is mixed with concept art illustrations and set photographs. The concept art are of the burning cities, ransacked supermarkets, underground bunkers, deserted buildings and, of course, zombies.Many of the art pieces look and feel unfinished. They are basically rough impressions for how certain scenes are to look. Few pieces are in the unpleasant collage style of photograph or 3D with art. If you look at the pictures at arms length, they look fine. If you look closer, the details don't hold up. The storyboard sketches are fantastic but there are only a handful of them.The last few pages feature zombie art. There are some nice textures going on but ultimately the designs are quite safe. They could have been zombies from any other zombie film.The only form of commentary comes in the form of short quotes from the crew. They aren't very insightful by themselves. There's nothing on how the film was shot which would have been more interesting.I recommend flipping through the book, see the pages before you buy.

This is a strange art book. To be honest, its even hard to call it an “art book”. This is basically the movie script with some concept art and a few movie stills. That's not to say this is not an interesting read. If you enjoyed the movie, like I did, its entertaining reading the script and seeing that there were quite a few changes from the writing to the screen. The movie followed the overall structure of the script, but the feeling when reading many scenes is that the movie is far less savage and gloomy than what was originally planned. Still, I suppose this, while providing a neat insight into the making of the movie, is not what you would expect from a book called “The Art of the Film”.Its not that there's no visual component in the book. There are many excellent concept art examples and some very cool stills from scenes in the movie. The concept art provides a vision that unfortunately did not make it fully into the movie. This art portrays epic scenes, of grand scope of zombie battles, destruction and a frightening apocalypse. This art promised an amazing and brutal movie instead of the entertaining but ultimately “safe” summer blockbuster we got. There are also a few pages, at the end of the book, all about the “design” of the zombies which were very interesting and a few concepts about weapons, mainly “the lobo” which once again did not make it to the movie but were also amazingly cool to see.Still its obvious to anyone that the “art” is not the main focus of the book. There are pages and pages of text with only a small picture and its both surprising and baffling the choice to put the spotlight on the written word, to “fill” the book instead of providing some visual material which I am sure there was plenty of to choose from the pre-production of the movie.This was still an interesting and amusing read. I enjoyed the script, learning about the changes to the screen and the art provided is exceptional.Its not a great art book but its a nice companion to the movie and highly recommended to its fans. Only to its fan, though.
