Screenwriter Damon Lindelof has been brought in to save Paramount’s troubled zombie movie World War Z.
The big-budget movie, in which Brad Pitt stars and is serving as one of the producers, has been troubled, and its release has been pushed from a December 21, 2012 release to June 21, 2013. It is now awaiting signficant reshoots. Lindelof, the Lost co-creator and co-author of Prometheus, is said to be focusing on the movie's third act. The production hopes to begin reshoots in September or October.
Z, based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks, is intended to be a zombie picture with sociological and political overtones. It also stars Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale and Anthony Mackie. Marc Forster is directing the movie, which shot last year in various European locales.
