The fact that World War Z's final cut almost entirely eradicated Matthew Fox's character arc highlights one major problem in the movie's storyline.
Most of Matthew Fox's scenes in World War Z did not reach the movie's final cut, which confirms the zombie thriller's biggest narrative problem. Based on the acclaimed novel written by Max Brooks, World War Z is a breathless roller coaster of never-seen-before zombie action scenes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Other than featuring a torrent of white-knuckling showdowns between humans and the living dead, World War Z also boasts a talented ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Daniella Kertesz, Mireille Enos, Elyes Gabel, and Matthew Fox, among others.
World War Z's original version ends with Brad Pitt's character gaining access to a phone in Russia after being unable to contact his wife for several months. When he learns that his wife complied with the paratrooper's twisted demands to keep herself and her children safe, he heads back to the U.S. to save his family. Owing to the ambiguity and abruptness of World War Z's original ending, Brad Pitt and Paramount's executives were not content with it.
Cutting Side Characters Was A Problem For World War Z Even though World War Z's budget skyrocketed to $200 million after all the re-shoots, the zombie apocalypse flick performed well at the box office by earning $540 million worldwide . However, despite its commercial success, World War Z received mixed reviews from critics because it failed to rise above the regular fare of survival horror movies, primarily because of its lack of focus on fleshing out its side characters.
Time and again, films like Train to Busan and 28 Days Later have proven that the best zombie survival horror dramas are the ones that recognize how a zombie apocalypse is a human story at its core. Fox's character left room for World War Z to find this human core by exploring interesting avenues surrounding the immoral nature of opportunists in a bleak apocalyptic world and the importance of family values for a virtuous hero like Gerry.
