Jaw-Dropping ‘World War Z’ Concept Art Emerges

Posted by Dr. Cole Abaius (cole.abaius@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 29, 2009

See what I did there? I used “jaw-dropping” because it looks like the lead zombie is getting his jaw blown off, and I used “emerges” because Zombies emerge from the grave. Fure isn’t the only one that can use wordplay around here.

Ugh, I’m awful at this.

Anyway, those handsome devils over at io9 have an incredible bloodbath-put-to-paper piece of concept art from artist Daniel LuVisi, a guy trying to score a job working on World War Z for director Marc Forester with his concept art entitled ‘The Battle of Yonkers’:

Daniel LuVisi's Incredible World War Z Concept Art

I would highly suggest clicking on the image, because the original is over twice that size, and the artwork is fascinatingly intricate. Beautiful. Also, zombies are involved.

I’d also suggest checking out the full io9 post, because they scored a pretty cool conversation with the artist.

Holy crap, how awesome is that?

  • Wow. Looks goooood.

    When do you think "World War Z" will actually hit the big screen?
  • Is that another George Romero Zombie Flick?
  • No, the book was written by Max Brooks, son of Mel Brooks.
  • Marc Forester doesn't know how to direct action. He just knows how to copy Bourne. I wasn't impressed with World War Z as a book and am not sure how well it will translate into a movie. Sure, on paper it sounds amazing, but even as a huge zombie fan, I remain skeptical.
  • You and I will just never agree. I loved World War Z as a book, and I think it's an interesting choice to place Forester in the director chair. The difficulty with the genre is doing something to make it fresh and meaningful, but I'm hopeful that World War Z will be able to do that. Especially if they include a really cool government-issued hand guide to zombie survival.
  • It took me forever to even finish World War Z. It was really boring in parts. And I live to kill zombies! The Zombie Survival Guide was good though. I had some minor grievances in tactics, but that first book was very entertaining to me.
  • I'm not much of a reader, so I don't know too much about this book. I know people who've read it, most of them enjoyed it. But I'm really getting tired of all the zombie movies that keep coming out. Give it a rest already! Stop making zombie movies for a couple of years, and then go back to it and it will feel fresh.

    Just take a break. Start doing werewolf movies.

    Probably a late 2010 early 2011 film!
