Even though Brad Pitt returns to the big screen in “Bullet Train,” in theaters Aug. 3, there’s still time to (re)watch one of his biggest hits, “World War Z,” before it leaves Netflix.
This is Brad Pitt’s biggest movie hit! Released in 2013, World War Z by Mark Forster (A quantum of consolation) features a Hollywood-style zombie invasion. In the program: a story that covers the four corners of the world, an avalanche of visual effects and some impressive sequences – like the mountain of the living dead trying to get over the wall in Israel.
The film grossed more than half a billion dollars worldwide. In France it exceeds two million. This adaptation of the novel by Max Brooks – the son of director Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft – is so successful that a trilogy is quickly considered.
Very quickly, the Spanish JA Bayona (orphanage and the series Lord of the Rings) was hired to produce the second opus. After a year of working on the script and set, he left the project for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. He’s being replaced by another director—and not just any director: David Fincher. This announcement makes many fans happy. World War Z 2 will mark the fourth collaboration between the filmmaker and Brad Pitt – who is producing the blockbuster with his company PLAN B.
Pre-production is underway and shooting is slated for summer 2019, six years after the release of the first film. Unfortunately, the budget cannot be decided. The project was finally canceled in February 2019. This famous sequel – which should not appear on the screens soon – was supposed to follow the hero Gerry Lane in pursuit of the virologist responsible for the dangerous virus.
World War Z Leaving the Netflix platform on July 31st.
