Summary
WhenWorld War Zcame out in 2013 , it was immediately hailed as a hopeful commencement to a sword - new zombi spirit franchise , but that never materialise . Horror is a genre that often finds itself fall into conversant patterns . Throughout the 1980s and nineties , slasher horrors , and revulsion comedies had a hay day . At other points , sub - genre like body , psychological , supernatural and more all had moments where they became the most popular and prominent family . However , the zombie sub - genre has been for the most part quiet for decades , with just a handful of decent movies featuring the walking dead .
Often , a gifted director , or a popular franchise is enough to kick off a wave of unexampled films in a specific genre . And in 2013 , it appeared as though zombie spirit movie could finally be brought back into the spotlight . This was all thanks to apromising fresh automaton moviethat put a unique spin on the traditional undead story , and appeared to have all the right constituent to become a large and popular franchise . Despite this , World War Znever went beyond the first movie , and I still believe it ’s a tragedy for zombie revulsion in general .
Brad Pitt ’s zombie movie World War Z earlier had a very different ( and darker ) stop . Here ’s what changed and why it was rewritten and reshot .

In addition , the film starred Brad Pitt , one of the top Hollywood A - listers of the last several decades . With this considerable gift , and a tarradiddle that was unassailable enough tobring zombi to the big screen in a way that had n’t been done quite aspowerfully since George A. Romeropopularized the wight feature in the 1960s and 1970s , the movie was a huge striking .

Why World War Z 2 Should’ve Happened & Why It’s Now Unlikely
The Story Sets Up A Trilogy
Despite theWorld War Zsequel being announced almost now after the original film slay theaters , the sequel ran into a whole innkeeper of issue . For several years , theproject remained in development hell , with new writers and directors being announced . However , after age of struggling , thelegendary filmmaker , David Fincher , who has created several mind - bending projects , such asFight Club , Seven , The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , andGone Girl , was announced as the new film director , with filming set to begin in 2019 . Being a fan of both Fincher andWorld War Z , this was spectacular news .
However , once again , the movie hit several paries , whichled to the project being shelved permanently . In 2019 , when the film was finally put to start filming , THRreported that one of the biggest reasonableness the film was never made came down to government . In China , the world ’s second - biggest moving-picture show industry , pic featuring zombi and specter are banned . This monumental barrier was too big forWorld War Zto overcome , and was potentially the last nail in the casket for why the movie was retired permanently .
World War Z was once tipped to become a " musical style - defining " blockbuster that would transfer zombie movies , which did n’t shew to be the case .
Based on the novel by Max Brooks, World War Z tells the story of a world ravaged by a zombie virus. Former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) braves the apocalypse in search of a cure.

Could There Be A World War Z Remake Instead?
What Comes Next For The World War Z Franchise?
However , World War Zwasn’t without its flaws . The movie may have been a adult smasher financially , and a popular new take on the zombi genre , but there was also some backlash to the movie due to its straying from the original novel upon which it ’s based . A 2006 novel by Max Brooks , which is similarly namedWorld warfare zee : An Oral chronicle of the Zombie War , was the text which was loosely adapted for the 2013 movie . Thenovel approaches the story in a very different way , through a serial of fictional interview which take spot ten year on from the outbreak .
While Fincher is no longer jell to manoeuvre a sequel , the director has fluff that there is a possibleWorld War Zremakein the line . While this may be dissatisfactory news as far as Brad Pitt ’s unfulfilled action repulsion dealership , it would be a cathartic and incontrovertible way to continue the level . And while I may always yearn for a follow - up to the original movie , it would be great to at least get that same world and account back on the big blind , even if it means remakingWorld War Zfrom the ground up .
World War Z is now available to pour on Netflix .
