Powerage5 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Today, reporting that Paramount has set a release date for Brad Pitt‘s World War Z sequel. Barring any setbacks, it is expected to arrive in theatersJune 9, 2017, the same weekend as Fox‘s Fantastic Four 2.J.A. Bayona is set to direct “World War Z 2,” which was written by Steven Knight. David Ellison‘s Skydance will produce with Pitt’s company Plan B Entertainment.Expect the “Fantastic Four” sequel to eventually move, as it’s extremely unlikely that Hollywood would release two high-profile sequels that cater to the same audience on the same day.No word on the cast yet, but star Brad Pitt is expected to return. Additionally, Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible) has been chosen to direct the sequel with Steven Knight(Pawn Sacrifice) penning the script.http://www.filimcrunch.com/movies/paramounts-world-war-z-sequel-gets-a-2017-release-date/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I liked it, but Brad Pitt isn't involved in the second and the whole "clean slate" thing kind of annoys me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Going in, not knowing how horribly they strayed from the book of the same title, I liked it. Good Hollywood zombie movie. Though I thought they wrapped up the end pretty well in the first. No Brad Pitt? No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hated how the movie felt like Brad Pitt was just spectating everything while in absolutely no danger of dying. When he survived the plane crash with minor injuries it was done.

Georgy Zhukov Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 World War Z had potential but I think the constant rewrites ruined the film. Then again it also had a shitty director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I wish they'd had a climatic battle in Red Swuare like was in the original draft of the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumblefeet Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 World War Z is the worst zombie movie I've ever seen. And that includes low budget shit like "Flesh Eater" and "Zombie 3". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I lasted 10 minutes of the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I almost turned it off after the Jerusalem scene. I can't stand how zombie films depend on human beings being fucking retarded. If the Israelis knew so much about Zombies, why the fuck did they miss the fact that noise attracts them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I watched it on cable. Don't like Brad Pitt, but it was interesting enough.I did see a sequel since the ending was left open.Not sure if I will go to the movies or wait for it to be on cable.Since movies cost over $10 now and if it's 3D you pay extra for glasses and snacks, I pick my movies very carefully now.

Cure worked, humanity saved, Brad Pitt reunited with his family. Pretty non-open ended to me. I could see a parallel sequel working, like another story happening somewhere else in the world while the events of World War Z are taking place. It's obvious from the montage at the end with Pitt's voiceover (And the script drafts) that there are other stories to be told about the zombie outbreak elsewhere in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bran Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 never seen the first one, i just remember the trailers looking really fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I suppose the good thing about this movie is that nobody HAS to go see it! Go see something you think you'll enjoy instead.I won't go see it at the theatre for $11, but I'll certainly rent it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
