It seems like an absolute age ago that I was reading news of WORLD WAR Z, starring Brad Pitt, filming in Scotland, with everything on schedule. However, since then there have been enough spanners in the works to make a mechanic blush. In the latest twist it appears writer Damon Lindelof – himself coming on-board to rework the script – has asked Drew Goddard (THE CABIN IN THE WOODS) to come up with a new ending… which Paramount apparently aren’t keen on. Now considering the work Marc Forster and his crew have put into the adaptation of Max Brook’s novel, this is a crushing blow, with rumours circulating Christopher McQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS writer) is going to be drafted in as well. Wow, the phrase too many cooks comes to mind.
WORLD WAR Z is still currently scheduled for a 21st July 2013 release but we’ll keep you posted.
