World War Z's Behind-The-Scenes Breakdown Is A Must-ReadIf you follow the movie industry closely, there's nothing more fascinating than an autopsy of a disaster, when the people behind a film get away from the promotional speak and soundbites and really dig into what made a film fall apart. It's rare to get that level of candor at any point, but it's practically impossible to get it before a film opens. Which is what makes Vanity Fair's cover story on World War Z an absolute, stop-everything must-read...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-09 10:54:51comments
World War Z's Behind-The-Scenes Chaos Revealed By Damon LindelofIt’s rare to have people involved with the movie talking openly about production problems before the film reaches theaters.

World War Z International Poster Looks Down At A World In ChaosIt's as though World War Z refused to be excluded from the trend of posters that show us the back of their hero facing out at whatever adventure - or in this case, zombie mayhem - awaits. Following up on the pile-of-zombies poster is the international poster for World War Z, which reminds us that the film will be released in 3D, IMAX 3D and 2D when it hits theaters in June. And it also reminds us that mass destruction is probably inevitable, which should look pretty great on the big screen. ...by Kelly West | published: 2013-04-05 08:20:22comments
World War Z Gets Changed To Avoid Chinese CensorshipIt started with cutting scenes from movies like Skyfall, Cloud Atlas, Men in Black 3, and creating and alternative version of Iron Man 3 with a Chinese-specific star. While unsettling, these changes only impacted the Chinese release of these films. With World War Z, we're seeing a new shift. What's unusual here is that Paramount is pre-empting potential Chinese complaints by changing the picture of their own volition before its even been seen by the censors. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2013-04-01 09:27:13comments
Not Even The Skies Are Safe In New World War Z PosterWith a brand new trailer on the way tonight, Paramount has unveiled the latest one-sheet for the Marc Forster-directed thriller, and I must say that it's a pretty cool design.

World War Z Fan-Made Posters Will Put You In An Undead MoodDisappointed by the initial one sheet, the creative folks at Blurppy solicited new posters that would play up the zombie apocalypse angle of the movie’s plot.

Brad Pitt Is Back On Set For More World War Z ReshootsYou might have thought because World War Z finally released a trailer, the film about zombie apocalypse, which has been plagued by repeated delays, onset disputes, reshoots and need of a new screenwriter to craft a totally new third act, was finally coming together. Well, don't hold your breath. ...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-11-16 10:42:50comments
Brad Pitt Avoids The Zombies In First World War Z TrailerWorld War Z, the novel by Max Brooks, is actually pretty fascinating. Set entirely after the end of a zombie infestation, the entire book is structured as a fake oral history, interviews with citizens, military personnel, and government officials painting the picture of what it was like to live in the time of zombies. We've known for quite a while that the movie version, directed by Marc Foster and starring Brad Pitt, would be going in a different direction, but watching the first trailer you begin to wonder why they used the title at all....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-11-08 17:43:27comments

The Production Nightmare Of World War ZFrom release date shuffling, to extensive reshoots, to a last-minute hustle for a third act rewrite, it's no secret that Marc Forster's World War Z adaptation has been plagued with problems. But as this dystopian drama trudges toward five weeks of "complex reshoots," THR has unveiled some more of the shocking missteps that appear to have marred the Brad Pitt-fronted—and produced—zombie drama that's had fan boys buzzing since its earliest announcement....by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-06-13 15:57:12comments

Brad Pitt Doing Seven Weeks Of Reshoots On World War ZMarc Forster wrapped shooting last summer, so this news is off-putting.

World War Z Being Looked At As The First Of A TrilogyIf it hasn't already been made abundantly clear, Hollywood loves franchises and sequels. Whether prudent or not, studios will do everything in their power to produce sequels to movies that may not necessarily need them. And it stars in pre-production too. The Hunger Games and Twilight were so appealing to the movie industry not just because of book sales but because they came prepackaged as a potential trilogy....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-01-03 14:12:11comments
Budapest SWAT Team Confiscates Guns Set To Be Used In Zombie Movie World War ZWhile the zombies in the upcoming Marc Forster directed film World War Z aren’t likely to be the real deal, the guns set to be used in the film apparently were, which caused a bit of a snag for the movie, which is currently filming in Budapest. Today, a SWAT team raided a warehouse in the Hungarian capital, confiscating weapons that were meant to be props in the film....by Kelly West | published: 2011-10-10 16:44:36comments
David Morse Is A Last-Minute Addition To The World War Z Cast"Needs more Morse." That's what a friend of mine said after a screening of Drive Angry 3D, which used the veteran character David Morse quite poorly. And that's what you say pretty much after any appearance by David Morse, no matter how large or small his role is. He could star in a remake of 127 Hours, be onscreen every second, and I'd still probably think he deserved more screentime...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-06 13:50:52comments
Footage From World War Z Has People Running For Their LivesYou’d think with the amount of zombie saturation we’ve had over the last few years that it would become boring and fail to raise our pulses.

Set Photos Show Off The Zombies Of World War ZWe've seen set photos for World War Z floating around, but none of it has ever really been compelling. Mostly shots of Brad Pitt walking around and set details, the photos have been rather dull and while they show off the world of the film, they've never shown off the nitty-gritty, and by that I mean the zombies. Now, you might be saying. "All zombies look alike," and that's kind of true, but a good film will put their own touch on undead design....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-08-22 20:07:13comments
World War Z Gets A December 2012 Release DateEven though Zack Snyder's Man of Steel ended up moving its release date to June 2013, next December is still packed to the gills with potential winter blockbusters.

Bryan Cranston May Join World War Z For Small But Flashy RoleSince Max Brooks’ World War Z novel is basically a series of short stories told from the point of view of different people who lived through the zombie apocalypse, we can probably be safe in assuming that more headlines like this one will emerge as these vignettes get cast....by Will LeBlanc | published: 2011-08-06 05:41:42comments
Ed Harris And Matthew Fox Depart Marc Forster's World War ZIt's fairly surprising that it's taken this long for a World War Z movie to get made.

Paramount May Have Found Co-Financiers For World War ZGiven a proper amount of effort and a solid budget, an adaptation of Max Brook's novel World War Z could be an amazing thing.

Paramount Is Still Making World War Z, But Only With Outside Financing HelpI really like World War Z the book, and even though I suspect the movie version will have to be drastically altered-- there's not even a main character in the book, just a series of people telling their personal stories-- I think it has what it takes to make a worthwhile blockbuster....by Katey Rich | published: 2011-03-22 08:56:38comments

World War Z Hits DelaysK, it's not exactly like Forster is abandoning World War Z, and I'd much rather him get the script in shape than go forward with a bad one. But we need our zombies!
