The book touches on what it describes as pop cultural myths about zombies. Brooks' book World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which deals with the war between the human race and zombies, was released on September 12, 2006. Paramount Pictures has acquired the movie rights; Brad Pitt's production company Plan B will produce the film. In the October 2006 issue of Fangoria Magazine, Brooks explains that he will not be writing the screenplay for the motion picture, as he feels he is not an accomplished enough screenwriter to "do it right." (J. Michael Straczynski is writing the screenplay.) Brooks has also written the introduction for the hardcover collected edition of Dynamite Entertainment's zombie mini series Raise the Dead (comics) which is to be released in 2008.
