Director David Fincher reveals his plans for the canceled World War Z sequel starring Brad Pitt, describing it as "a little like The Last of Us."
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT David Fincher teases his canceled World War Z 2 movie plan, describing it as "a little like The Last of Us." The 2013 film, which was directed by Marc Forster based on the book by Max Brooks, starred Brad Pitt as a former UN investigator leading a worldwide search seeking a solution to a sudden zombie apocalypse.
In a new interview with GQ, Fincher revealed some of his ideas for the canceled World War Z sequel. The director described it as "a little like The Last of Us," though he's ultimately "glad" it never came to fruition. When asked if his sequel was a "closer adaptation of the original book," Fincher replied, "No, no. But there is some talk of doing that.
Well, it was a little like The Last of Us. I'm glad that we didn't do what we were doing, because The Last of Us has a lot more real estate to explore the same stuff. In our title sequence, we were going to use the little parasite… they used it in their title sequence, and in that wonderful opening with the Dick Cavett, David Frost-style talk show.
Bayona's departure paved the way for Fincher to come aboard as director, and his frequent collaborator, Pitt, promptly agreed to reprise his lead role as Gerry Lane. A new production schedule was planned, though it was later delayed due to Fincher's involvement in Mindhunter as a director and executive producer. With just a few months of pre-production left to go, the sequel was surprisingly canceled.
