◎ Behind the scenes production
Brad Pitt's fancy novelThe
film is adapted from the novel of the same name published by Max Brooks in 2007. This novel is the sequel to the "Zombie World Survival Guide" in the sequence of the book. In a sense, "Zombie World Survival Guide" is the "foundation" of many novels of the same type. The story of "Doomsday War" is very interesting. The author once said: "In this novel, all the stories are true, and they are all adapted from real stories-except for the element of zombies. The book Society, human nature, economy, politics, culture, and the military are all copied from the real world. In order to write such a novel, I have done a lot of preparation work." Such a story brings a different kind to the novel. Style and taste. Because it is true, the novel has a certain sociological significance. Secondly, there are elements of zombies. In the novel, there are feelings of science fiction, zombies, fear, and uncertainty. Finally, this is a survival novel, and naturally there will be many plots of the protagonist surviving.
It is this kind of temperament and style of the novel that made Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio fall in love with this novel together. After some bidding by the two star production companies, Pete got the film rights to the novel. In order to adapt this novel, Brad Pitt, the producer, asked four screenwriters to modify and polish the script. The final script is quite complete. Director Mark Foster said: "We spent a lot of time and experience on the script, with the goal of hoping that this story could be comparable to the original. After all, there are many social elements involved in the original. If we adapt this novel into a simple zombie movie, then we lack the charm of the original. It is this requirement that makes the work of adapting the script very difficult. Pete has found a lot of screenwriters to write the scripts, some of which are screenwriters. He is also a master of science fiction, action movies and such doomsday-themed movies. We revise the script over and over again in order to make it closer to the original." The
finalized script still lives up to expectations, "Ain't It Cool News" "Just comment on the script of the film: "This is not just an excellent script adapted from a high-level novel, and it is not just a difficult job. It is more like a proof that a zombie movie is the best film. 'Quality film type.'

In order to show the feeling of "world war" in the novel, the crew has filmed all over the world. In Glasgow, Scotland, the crew hopes to find 2,000 extras to play zombies in the film. However, the number of local people who came to sign up has reached 3,000. This is indeed a large number for Glasgow, which has only 500,000 people. After shooting in Scotland, the crew moved to the Philippines, the United States, London, Hungary, Malta and other countries to shoot. In response to this, the film’s director Mark Foster said: “The entire shooting plan is still very smooth.

We started from From the beginning of the copyright purchase, to the adaptation of the script, to the shooting, to the planned release, it is like fighting. There are countless problems and details waiting for us to solve and make the film perfect. In fact, I still like this movie in my heart. Yes, especially the re-creation of the element of zombies in the film, the re-rewriting of zombie films and horror films, are refreshing. Like all good and excellent feature films, "Doomsday War" is definitely worthy of you The positional struggle and hard work deserves so much effort and hard work.
