Brooks was supposed to be a consultant on the film and they basically took his ideas, threw them away, and re-shot the whole thing. Which is fine, just take WWZ out of the title, because that isn't what it is. It's times like this when I can understand writers asking to have their name taken off a project.
kahlid got it right.... I knew it was some sort of non-scientific mumbo jumbo that was never fully explained. Their explanation as to how the brain survived without nutrients was something stupid like it takes a long time for the brain to rot and/or it takes a long time for the parasite to eat it. It does give a good explanation as to why they are going around munching on people though... to spread the infection. But no, the film doesn't fall into canon via the type of zombies. When I say early on, I mean the first few hours of the body dying. Rigor mortis sets in afterall and even before, the people are stricken from a very bad fever prior to dying. So they are as fast moving as a recently deceased corpse with the flu. ;)

You can blame Brooks then. Is he not the son of Mel Brooks? He would be no stranger to the machinations of Hollywood. Perhaps it was his master to sell more books ;D

Yes and No. Some people when they sell rights maintain control and have a hand in the production and ultimate execution. Others contracts stipulate they sell all parts and have no say in any parts there-after. So my guess would be that he sold the rights and lost the right to have final say. They listened to his ideas and then decided it wouldn't be a good fit for "Their movie" and changed the fudsicles out of it.

Still his fault. Didn't J.K Rowling manage to keep the screenplays exactly as she wanted? And without having inside movie experience...
