Why not make it an HBO show that properly adopts the book’s anthological premise? It’s also way too late to do a sequel to the Brad Pitt movie so I don’t know how else would a new film bring to the table

Hella early but this will probably do significantly less especially if Brad Pitt isn’t coming back.

Ellison just greenlit everything that was in his inbox, didn’t he?

I had completely forgotten about this cinematic narrative universe. I imagine it could be a nice surprise though.

I remember reading on deadline that it lost like 50 million. Guess Ellison really wants to leave no IP unturned.

Cool. Stop buying Warner Bros.

Wasn’t the David Fincher version of this sequel originally killed because they felt they could not get it into China (due to the undead) and the financials would be iffy without a China release?
What changed?

I honestly didn’t mind WWZ as an action/suspense movie in the zombie genre, even if it detracted from the source material and storytelling format. The article clarifies that it’s still unknown if this’ll be a sequel or total reboot.
I am admittedly still bummed that Fincher never got to make his sequel with Pitt though, he would’ve knocked it out of the park

Man they’ve been rumoring this for so long. I remember when David Fincher was attached to it before he did Mank at Netflix.

One of my favorite zombie movies, it’s very rewatchable. Looking forward to this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they go a 28 Years Later route with this.

Please make it closer to the book and do it a TV show/mini series

Brad Pitt needs to return after the success of *F1*

WWZ needs a series not a movie

Is the new film going to have more scenes in Israel?

I can never see this movie the same way again after the Pointless Hub video
I’m still convinced Ellison only got this rolling because he saw F1’s box office and he looked up the highest grossing Brad Pitt movie Paramount had

Paramount is cooking with these announcements

Remember the scene when Brad Pitt gets thirsty for a Pepsi, goes to a Pepsi machine, orders and drinks a Pepsi, and then the scene ends? Hopefully we can get more subtle advertising like that
