I disliked the World War Z movie as well. With the popularity of the “mockumentary” format and true crime style documentaries, I would love to see someone take another run at this, as a limited series on a streamer. The hook of the book for me was that it was an oral history with people telling their moments of interaction with the big events, to preserve a historical record. It seems like a natural to do it like that, or maybe in the style of a Ken Burns documentary with talking head narration interspersed with “found footage” style sound and video recordings. Ring camera footage of zombies approaching houses, or lab security cameras, or audio transmissions with the astronaut stuck in space. Interviews with the doctors who treat the astronaut after he returns etc. Like my wish for a Disney+ MCU tv series following insurance claims adjusters in the wake of superhero shenanigans, I’m just gonna keep putting this out there til it manifests or something!
I did not know that Max and Mel were related!
