We thought 'World War Z' was wrapped and ready for release to the big screen late this year or early next year. So did star Brad Pitt. But not so fast. Paramount has decided to re-write the third act and the ending of the film. This means they'll have to gather cast members, sets, and locations again.
They also hired a new writer to make the story changes. Damon Lindelof, the screenwriter for the new movie 'Prometheus', will be penning a new third act and ending to the flick. No word yet whether original director Marc Foster will be the one in charge of implementing the new script or how close it will resemble the original book by Max Brooks. Shooting is expected to take place this fall if all those who need to be involved are available. Which means the movie release is likely to be put off until next summer or fall. With all the 'zombies' in the news lately, they might have been better served releasing it sooner rather than later.
