They need to just release the damn thing already.

2nd trailer was better.

Still looks like too much/shitty CGI.

I'm still going to go see this in theater.

Guilty.

Looks interesting. The fact that it's taken so long isn't a good sign though.

Brad Pitt's 'World War Z' cost $200 million, endured filming woes

Brad Pitt’s mega-movie “World War Z” has had a bumpy road.

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, producers of the zombie film discussed the complications the movie has experienced, which include delays, budgeting woes and having to reshoot its entire ending.

President of production at Paramount Marc Evans told the magazine he realized there was a major issue with the film after the screening of the director’s cut.

“It was, like, Wow. The ending of our movie doesn’t work,” Evans said. “I believed in that moment we needed to reshoot the movie. We were going to have long, significant discussions to fix this.”

In the end, the team decided that just the ending of the film needed to be redone. The problem? The film had already run way over budget.

Evans said the movie ran into money woes early on, while filming in Malta. He said the wrap-up crew found a neglected stack of purchase orders that totaled millions of dollars. The extra money spent was an “unthinkable action,” he said.



“It was literally insane. Adam [Goodman, president of the Paramount Film Group] and I believed we’d gotten out of Malta good, and I found out we weren’t. That is a nightmare.”

Screenwriter Damon Lindelof’s said he was impressed Paramount supported reshooting the ending of the film after so much money had already been spent. But he said the company “completely and totally embraced” the much-needed changes to the film.

One thing Paramount was strict about, however, was the rating of the film.

“There was always a challenge to keep it PG-13, where Brad wanted to go for it,” a person involved in the film told Vanity Fair. “The question was: How graphic can it be and get the rating?”

The source added that Pitt “just wanted it to be cool.”

The zombie flick ended up costing about $200 million, and it is set for a June 2013 release, according to IMDB.

Brad Pitt...

PG 13 zombies.



What's next? Rated R Porn? :facepalm:

200 million on a movie that appears to be in no way associated with the very popular book it was made after, and a PG-13 rating to boot.

I smell a disaster waiting to happen.

Been seeing commercials for the movie on tv, can't wait to see it.

That...

Someone really needs to make a World War Z movie

Thanks for that...

I just finished "Omega Days" book, and it was better than World War Z.

It would make a great movie.

This zombie fad is getting out of control. Its so stupid. I saw something on the history channel last night that had hand picked professors and scientists claiming a zombie apocalyse could actually happen. Bullshhhhhhttt. Willl could and never will happen. So stupid
