I also don't want to see this as a gorefest.  Yeah, you'll need some shots of the zombs but if it turns into 28 Days the movie will be crap.

The book contains so much side information, so much detail that you can not put it in a 2 hour box office movie and turning it into a campy gorefest would simply kill the atmosphere of the book without the possibility of reanimating it ever again. It would be a far better idea to turn the novel into a series, genre revamped Battlestar Galactica. I think the structure of the book lends itself to this perfectly Frankly I can not even start to fatom how you would turn this masterpiece novel in to a good movie.

But let's at least get someone in there who's actually excited about making the screen adaptation for the coolest zombie novel ever put to print.

If he does I'll have to order my voodoo zombies to attack him (if you got that ZSG reference congradulations your a nerd too) I heard he’s trying to get them to make it into a campy action film.
