New Zombie Film Drew on Horrors in Real Life for Plot (+Video)
When executives at Paramount Pictures decided to modify the upcoming zombie apocalypse film World War Z to delete a reference to China as the origin of the zombie virus, they expected China’s censors to approve the film for a theatrical release in the country—the world’s second largest movie market.
However, the film, which opens on June 21 in the United States, was rejected by China’s censorship authorities, according to entertainment blog TheWrap.com, citing a source “familiar with upcoming releases in China.” A Paramount executive denied the news and told the blog that the studio had not yet received a response from China.
According to TheWrap.com, the scene in question showed the characters debating the location where the outbreak of the zombie virus began, which in the book was China. Paramount executives had the scene deleted preemptively to ensure that the film will score a deal to play in China’s theaters. Currently, the Chinese regime has a quota of 34 foreign films that they allow to be screened in the country.
While the scene was said to be a minor plot point in the film, China and its black market organ trade play a critical role in the novel that the film is adapted from.
Written by Max Brooks and published in 2006 under the same title, the novel begins in China, where the initial patient to be infected with the zombie virus is said to be a young boy from a remote Chinese village. The virus then spreads to other parts of the world through the black market organ trade, where infected organs extracted from executed political prisoners are sold to people in need of organ transplants. Those with the transplanted organs then die and come back alive as zombies.
“Years before the outbreak they’d been making millions on organs from executed political prisoners. You think something like a little virus is going to make them stop sucking that golden tit?” Brooks has one of his characters say in the novel.

And in those days shall men SEEK DEATH, and shall NOT find it; and shall desire to DIE, and death shall FLEE from them – Rev 9:6
Could this verse from the Bible be speaking about zombies?
could be, but I think it is because of the men’s realization they made the wrong choice and become fully aware of what is coming and not being able to escape from it….because of that wrong choice. We’ll see…there is only a right choice and wrong choice…remember, life is not a battle of flesh and blood…(Eph 6:12)
