What hath George Romero wrought? No longer are we being overrun with zombies created from a deluge of toxic waste near a cemetery. Now we face zombie pandemics, global emergencies that demand international coordination, but that means there will be opportunities for American heroes armed with all the know-how that comes from being all-American (it also doesn’t hurt that said all-American will look like Brad Pitt lugging around a kid or two for added effect). Marc Forster’s film will look little like the Max Brooks novel that serves as the basis for the tale, but who needs to get all literary when you’ve got zombies? Now in theaters. (PG-13) Not screened in time for review
