The sequel to World War Z has a director, and that director is... David Fincher?

How very odd.

Well that is a mighty fine title for a film, I do say.

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

If anything its a return to form for David "Alien 3" Fincher.

Holy shit this is really happening

I don't know if I should feel ecstatic about this or wonder "What the hell is he thinking"

God, World War Z was a hot mess of Idiot Plot and Contrived Coincidences.

At least the book went into more details about the situation and how it started.

Maybe this one will have the super-zombies combine into a Kaiju?

Hoping for a Portmanteau Pun-Based Title 'World War Zoo', with zombie animals.

Worse than the book?
The book is a global thriller in the style of Studs Terkel oral history, telling the tale of the folly that allowed the zombie plague to spread unchecked, and how human willpower and human resources were marshaled together to take back the planet from the zombie horde once and for all. The zombie is not killed by military might or by science, but by grit, determination, and the husbanding of all available resources towards a certain goal.

The movie is a straight white male hero's race against time to find a magic silver bullet.

I guess that, if there's any consolation, a sequel would be hard pressed to somehow be worse than the first movie.

How is this going to play out? The first movie ended with humanity finding a way to make themselves invisible to zombies and they were subsequently mowed down. The war was over and humanity won.

Looks like it's not gonna happen.

Paramount Pulls The Plug On David Fincher's 'World War Z' Sequel [Exclusive]

"Movement is life," Brad Pitt's Gerry Lane famously said, advising survivors in Paramount's 2013 zombie/outbreak movie "World War Z." Momentum is everything in Hollywood, and perhaps a lack of it hurt "World War Z"'s chances for a sequel, because it's now curtains for the followup film. Sources close to the project for years tell us that Paramount Pictures pulled the plug on director David Fincher's film last night.

The film's budget was definitely an issue but only to a degree. Fincher and his team were proposing something less than the budget of the original ($190 million according to Box Office Mojo, before the costly reshoots). However, Paramount's known about this figure since at least last year and had hemmed and hawed about the project for months. One might think it not entirely coincidental that Paramount, which makes far fewer films than the average studio, just designated a lot of money for two significant blockbusters: "Mission Impossible 7" & '8' which will arrive in the summer of 2021 and 2022, according to their official release dates.

Yayyyyyyyy.

Seriously. The first was a hot mess. And not in a fun way.
