I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    wow. nice find oldboy.
    personally, i’m way more excited for the walking dead tv series than any possible L4D movie.

    The french made a movie quite similar to the game last year:

    I would have liked it better if the red people icons where arranged boy-boy-girl-boy because that is the same arrangement of actors names. I would not, however, change the order of the names because the distribution of their visual weight is pleasing.

    I hate posters. And elevators.

    Looks like Right Four Dead to me. Of course, it could refer to *their* point of view.

    The movie sort of was made already, Zombieland lifted quite a bit from L4D, imho.

  • Dave Rattigan

    Agree with #4 – they pretty much made Left 4 Dead 2 already as Zombieland. Or at least it’s probably the movie I’d have made if I were in charge of the adaptation.

    I designed a similar but much better poster for New Dawn. :)

    It doesn’t have big floating heads, so I don’t think Hollywood would approve. =/

    I’ve seen this before. Oh yeah, it was on the cover of an issue of Grant Morrison’s Filth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Filth13.jpg
