Has everyone read World War Z?
There is talk of a film version apparently and a studio has or is in talks to buy the rights to the book according to a recent post on the Screenrant website.
What excerpts do you think would translate the best into film?

I haven't read it yet but a friend let me borrow it for like a year & I never even opened it. Not because I felt it was uninteresting but because I'm a lazy fucker when it comes to reading these days.

Yep. It and the zombie survival guide are pretty much the only zombie books I've ever read come to think of it. All other zombie media I've experience have either been in Film or video games.

Yeah its quite impressive all the voice talent they hired for the audio book. I have listened to some of the interviews through their podcasts on itunes. My favourite one would have to be Jürgen Prochnow's, just the way he says "Fucking Liars!" in his german accent My only issue with the audio recordings I've heard is that there wasn't any ambient noise from the locations they were supposed to do the interviews from. It doesn't detract from the quality of the interviews but just makes it lose a little bit of authenticity and feel like it was conducted where it actually was - in a recording booth.

a lot of people don't realise Mark Hamill does the voice of The Joker plus he was in Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

I knew he did The Joker. If I would guess, I would think that this is why Fly likes him so much, knowing that Fly loves Batman: The Animated Series.

Anyone that says Mark Hamill's career was over after Star Wars needs to take a look at his voice acting resume. He's done quite well for himself.
Plus, he played Cock Knocker.

Cock Knocker was great. I remember walking out of the theater that day with a bad stomach ache and bloodshot eyes. Hilarious.
EDIT:
There is a shit-ton of money to be made in voice over. For the amount of work involved and the enviroment, who would want to do anything else?
