extinction-poster

What you may need to know:

1. Zom-non-com with Matthew Fox and Jeffrey Donovan as survivors hiding out nine years after the zombie apocalypse.

2. @0:12 – “Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be Captain Caveman.”

3. Fox can’t seem to get away from zombies. He had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it role as “Parajumper #1” in Brad Pitt’s patchy World War Z (2013).

4. Were there any zombies in Lost amongst all those alternate timelines, four-toed statues and frozen donkey wheels? What was the deal with Christian Shephard?

5. If you were underwhelmed by I Am Legend (2007), then check out The Omega Man (1971).

6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Needs more braaaaains.

Release Date: August 14.

    The book by Max Brooks was actually very good, sharply observed satire.

    The whole zombie thing is deep ingrained US fear of enemies who are unafraid to die – discuss.

    Matthew Fox had a rather large role in World War Z that was cut down to a cameo, they shot the whole thing with a totally different Russian-based ending that tested really badly, so they re-did the whole thing in Wales with Doctor Who as the WHO Doctor.

    A missed opportunity though, would’ve been much better in a documentary-style format with narration with more of a global sense to it. Maybe an 8-part HBO series or something, rather than the schlocky scarefest that it turned into towards the end.
