The Zombie Survival Guide Scanner, is based exclusively on Max Brooks’ internationally bestselling survival manual, The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead (Three Rivers Press), that has sold over 1 million copies in the U.S.

“How can you be sure your friend is not a zombie? This new app is the tool that will save you from infection before they bite.
Available for FREE from iTunes, this app will let you scan ANYONE. Calculating in a matter of seconds, it will immediately tell you if someone is infected with the zombie virus or not—and if they are infected, by how much. “

See it here: iTunes.Apple.com

The silent video clip shows how the scanner app works.

Crown Digital is part of  The Crown Publishing Group, a division of Random House.

Patrick Alberty http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/?p=20880 brad pitt portrait 225x300 Brad Pitt Takes On The Zombie Horde In WORLD WAR ZWhen the zombie apocalypse happens, isn’t it comforting to know that at least SOME pretty people will survive? Hollywood hopes you think so as it was announced that Brad Pitt would be starring in the upcoming zombie war retrospective WORLD WAR Z. Based on the book of the same name by Max Brooks, WORLD WAR Z tells the unique story of the human fight for survival against the infected – from initial outbreak to humanity’s ultimate victory – by way of oral interviews.

J. Michael Straczynski will be adapting the book into a screenplay and, while nothing is known for sure, rumor has it that he has added a journalist character to the storyline – potentially the Brad Pitt role – that will facilitate the book’s original interview format.
The film was optioned by Pitt’s Plan B productions 3 years ago and has been in development ever since. Plan B has also picked up the rights to Max Brooks’ other books THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE and THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE: RECORDED ATTACKS. Whether these will be incorporated into the WWZ film or will be stand-alones has yet to be seen.
