For all of you Post Apocalypse Fans:

I'm very excited about:
Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Comic ‘The Walking Dead’ Set for TV Pilot:
The cable channel AMC has given the green light to a new post-apocalyptic Zombie pilot based on Robert Kirkman’s comic The Walking Dead. The pilot which will be directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) will focus on the efforts of a sheriff and his son, as they along with a group of other survivors try to get by in a world where food, water and other basic human needs are in short supply.
Although Kirkman’s comic was inspired by the works of Zombie maestro George Romero, the story is very much about survival rather than zombies popping out from every direction. The pilot and possible TV series will have similarities to the current BBC TV show Survivors, in that the struggles between themselves and their efforts to survive will be the main focus of the show.
I’m not sure how long we’ll have to wait for this to hit our screens but I’m already getting excited about this one. And seen as the director and production team have already been chosen and casting is currently getting underway I doubt that we’ll be waiting long.
If you get a chance read the "comic/novel" - there are "family" elements in it that are very reminiscent of Firefly's disfunctional functioning family, but with more blood and zombies. And you do not have to be a zombie fan to like it.
Also - "For those that don’t know, TNT has signed up for an initial 10 episodes of Steven Spielberg’s as yet untitled alien invasion series. The series which is currently being filmed stars Noah Wyle (ER) alongside Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) and is written by Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan.)" 
release date 2011 - Moon Bloodgood

Quote:I define apocalypse as in where millions die or there's a more than 50% loss of infrastructure. By that reckoning, Dark Angel does not qualify. But some peeps would consider a major shift in world economic power and individual freedoms to be enough...

Dark Angel isn't in the post-apocalypse genre.

Chris....dude. Postman. For real?
Waterworld blows completely though, yeah.

It is officially post-Apocalypse, but the only place thatgets mentioned or figures in the plot is at the VERY end.

-The Road Warrior
-Planet of the Apes(The first film, and also the tv series from 74')
-Miracle Mile: I know this is technically a movie about the process of a nuclear war, but it's such a good movie. I had to include it here.
-Dawn of the Dead
Sorry if I bended the rules a little, but there are very few movies in this genre I like.
