Review by Bob Ignizio
Our
friends at Titan books recently sent us The
Art of the Film: World War Z,
and It's just about everything a fan of the movie could ask for.
There's more than enough concept art, stills, and behind the scenes
photos reproduced on nice glossy paper for the book to live up to the
promise of its name. But wait, there's more! You also get the
complete screenplay by Mathew Michael Carnahan and Dreww Goddard &
Damon Lindelof, and right from the start you can see major
differences between script and the finished film. Finally, you also
get a number of quotes from the cast and crew. Mostly just the sort
of tidbits you'd expect from a promotional interview or something,
but not without some interest. Too bad it wasn't a movie I liked that
got this treatment, but that's no reason to hold anything against
this fine volume. I couldn't find credits for who put this all
together, but whoever they are, job well done. I may have given the
movie 1 out of 4 stars, but this book is a 4 star
Titan
also sent us the novelizations for Man
of Steel
by Greg Cox, and Pacific
Rim
by Alex Irvine. Time constraints simply won't allow me to read these
anytime soon, if ever – too many movies to watch, and when I do get
the time to read, movie novelizations are the last thing I want to
read. But the publisher was kind enough to send them to us, so I feel
I should at least let those who might be interested know that they're
out there.
