I really enjoyed that book as well. Hopefully the movie is as good as the book, but I doubt it.
The issue with translating WWZ into a movie is that you lose the personal stories which is the crux of the novel. Unless it's filmed like a documentary then it's bound to lose something along the way.
That's been the talk, are they going to be able to keep what makes the book so good? From what I've read they decided to go in a different direction because making the movie the way the books written was difficult and even after they wrote it they didn't think it would transition well to the big screen . Instead they're going to go into some type of gradious zombie epic that'll probably be
a trilogy. I guess if the book inspires an epic zombie movie then I can't complain.
I guess if they string out the chapters into chronological order and focus on the core events that are mentioned as turning point in the book, then it should still be alright.
