Ang's Journal

OK, who has read Max Brooks' book World War Z? I'm not usually a fan of zombie-related anything, but this book was a good read.

Now I read that Brad Pitt is starring in the movie version of the story. They are filming in Glasgow, even though according to BBC News "the film is set in Philadelphia".

This brings up a swarm of questions:

1) I didn't think the book was set anywhere in particular. It is a series of interviews describing events that took place all over the world.

2) Does Brad Pitt have a thing for the city of Philadelphia? He's already acted in Twelve Monkeys, which took place in Philly.

3) If the movie is set in Philadelphia, why aren't you filming it in Philadelphia? Admittedly, when I visited Glasgow, one of my first comments was that it reminded me of Philadelphia. But even so, Philadelphia itself would be a better stage for a story supposedly taking place in the City of Brotherly Love. Besides, your extras in Glasgow are going to have the wrong incomprehensible accent.
