It is really too bad they didn't cast ho as the zombie queen stupitt has to fight to save humanity. But then, he decides to return to her crypt with her in exchange for another 500 years of a zombie free world. She can drag him off into the sunset while his costars do a slow clap.

This can't be good news for Pitt or the investors. Massive rewrites and reshoots on what has now been turned into a UN propaganda movie.

Who probably money laundered enough to put up the moola for production. You know that devil he made a pact with to get his movies made. God only knows, what HE's resorted to do, to pay that devil (UN) back!!

Isn't this genre been overdone via movies and tv series?

So has baseball, but that didn't stop Pitt from making MoneyPIT.

The Zombie genre has it's fans. However, I don't think there is enough fans in this world, to constitute spending over 200 million dollars (and counting) on production for this kind of movie.

This would of been better served, as a miniseries on cable.

There hasn't been a host of baseball movies recently whereas the zombie-like stuff has recently been covered ad nauseum via both mediums. MoneyPitt was just a boring story about stats which wouldn't and didn't interest a wider audience. Good luck to the investors on this zombie movie. Throwing good money into a real moneypitt.

BUMP

Zombies? Meh. I'll watch The Walking Dead on TV if I need a zombie fix (make that a Norman Reedus fix). I don't need to fork over good money to watch Grandpa Goat's disaster film WaterWorld War Z.

'World War Z' Rewrites: Damon Lindelof Hired To Fix Ending Of Brad Pitt Film

'World War Z' Rewrites: Damon Lindelof Hired To Fix Ending Of Brad Pitt Film

The Huffington Post | By Christopher Rosen Posted: 06/08/2012 3:42 pm Updated: 06/08/2012 3:42 pm

Hopefully you weren't that excited for "World War Z."

Paramount has brought on "Prometheus" screenwriter Damon Lindelof to retool the Brad Pitt-led adaptation of Max Brooks' famed zombie novel -- with specific focus being placed on the film's third act. That would par for the Hollywood-blockbuster course, except for one small detail: "World War Z" finished filming last year.

THR.com broke the news of Lindelof's hire, while noting that "World War Z" will undergo "significant reshoots" likely starting this fall.

For Paramount, this is the second high-profile film to require major post-production changes. Last month, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" was moved from its June 29 release date to March 29, 2013. The studio line was that "G.I. Joe" was being retrofitted into 3D to help with overseas revenues, but Deadline.com reported that test audiences were unhappy with Channing Tatum's brief role in the film. His part could be expanded with additional reshoots, but Tatum hadn't heard about any last week at the MTV Movie Awards.

"I don't know. Truly," Tatum said. "I haven't seen the movie. I did my part and then all this stuff is going on, so they haven't come to talk to me about anything. They talk about a lot of stuff; who knows if it's the industry or the actual studio? You never know."

As for "World War Z," the film was initially scheduled to hit theaters on Dec. 21, but was moved to next June earlier this year. That would give director Marc Forster plenty of time to work in the new ending that Lindelof writes, but whether the director gets the chance is certainly up for debate. As Badass Digest writer Devin Faraci notes, "It's hard to believe [he'll] be allowed to keep screwing the movies up in costly overtime."

For more on the Lindelof hire, head over to THR.com.

wow, so pitt had thrown his director under the bus to justify the reason, that the movie turned into unwatchable shitt. his typical modus operandi. that the movie is a dud because pitt forced them to rewrite the whole story to make his role "significant" and his terrible non acting might be the reason can't be mentioned, so he trashed others for it.

Wow.. I didn't realize the article was written by Pitt. What a dick.

WWZ is at least 125M in the hole. How can Paramount spin the extra expense? The true expense for this shithole of a movie will never been revealed. Besides, Monsters Incorporated 2 is opening the same weekend, and The Man of Steel/Superman movie will be opening the previous weekend.

Pitt needs to be accountable for this money pitt of a movie. He has wanted re-writes to movies in the past, but he doesn't know what a good story is. Being the hero in WWZ is about massaging his ego. I would be shocked if Pitt continues to be in potential blockbusters, or if studios continue to have faith in the dude from MAMS. Troy was a long time ago. There are plenty of better action heroes.

Stupitt is such a whiny douche bag. He just loves to throw other people under the bus... his parents, his ex-wife, director. I have never known an actor that routinely blames others for his flops. It's so unprofessional.

Oh well Waterworld War Z another bomb, to add to the list of Pitt box office screw ups.
