Paramount Removes Brad Pitt's WORLD WAR Z Sequel From Their Upcoming Release Schedule
In a move that was probably a long time coming, Paramount Pictures has removed Brad Pitt's upcoming World War Z sequel from the release calendar without providing a new date. Come take a look!
It's not looking too good for the zombie apocalypse as Variety is reporting that Paramount Pictures has officially taken their World War Z sequel off the release calendar, which is not entirely shocking considering the film hadn't even begun filming yet. However, what is shocking is that they haven't provided a new release date for the sequel, which almost definitely suggests fans may have to wait even longer to see part two of Brad Pitt's zombie adventures.
The film, which lost its original director J.A. Bayona (Jurassic World 2) in early 2016 and was rumored to be courting David Fincher (Gone Girl) last August, was originally slated to open June 9 opposite Tom Cruise's The Mummy, but its inability to secure a director seemingly sealed its fate. The report adds that Paramount is now eyeing possible release dates in 2018 or 2019, and will use the extra year to further develop the script.
In other news, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has completely scrapped their Friday the 13th reboot, which was due out later this year. Its previous October 13th date will now be occupied by Darren Aronofsky's possible awards contender mother!, which stars Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: Apocalypse) in the lead role.
