So more than a decade after the first hit theaters, the sequel "World War" seems to be in the cards. Maybe. At the very least, it is on the heads of the new regime in Paramont. The studio recently completed the merger with SkydanceWhich means there is a new leadership at the top, and they have ambitions to the top talent and take over the box office. That team is led by David Ellison, the founder of Skydance, now President and CEO of Paramount.

After closing the merger, Ellison and some other brass in Paramont held a press conference and, after Hollywood reporterThey are looking to make spraying when it comes to big films. "One of our top priorities is to return Paramount as the number 1 destination for the most talented artists and directors in the world," Ellison said. "Great directors make great movies."

This is where things are interesting. Of course, those ambitions extend to obvious things like "Top Gun 3." Unsuccessful. But the report notes that co-film chief Josh Greenstein checked the new film "World War Z" as "Priority", along with "Star Trek" and "Transformers". "World War Z 2" was officially canceled by Paramount as early as 2019And it has been quite quiet on that front ever since. The noise seems to appear sooner than later. At a time when no specifics are available, it is worth considering that this should probably have the form of a restart/new adaptation rather than a sequel.

In the 2013 film, directed by Mark Forster, Brad Pitt is playing a former United Nations employee, Gary Lane, who is forced to travel the world in a race against time to stop Zombie -Pandemia that threatens to destroy humanity. It's more than a zombie globe movie in it. Instead of crucial, it was also a big hit - though with a great caution.

"World War Z" is the biggest zombie movie ever, making $ 540 million at the box office. It is also by far the most expensive, with a $ 190 million monstrous budget. It was prescribed several times with many reshaped roads. It directly acquired the disaster, and it was nothing shy of a miracle that it became a hit we know how.

It's been 12 years, and it's hard to know if this would be the "Avatar: Water Water" situation where the audience breaks in the mouth for a sequel for more than a decade after the original. More likely, it is an unnecessary risk. David Fincher was supposed to direct "World War Z 2" before falling apartAnd if the guy who did "seven" with Pete couldn't do it, it is probably best to leave the past.

More to the point, for those who do not know, the film was a lot Loosely based on the book of the same name by Max Brooks. Posted in 2006, "is told in the persecuted and swinging voices of men and women who witnessed first -hand horror" and is "the only record of the pandemic". It is an oral history of the zombie apocalypse, it does not look like the film we received. The official synopsis of the book reads as follows:

The war of zombies is approaching near the eradication of mankind. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving acidic experiences from the survivors, traveled through the United States of America and around the world, from beheaded cities that once took up 30 million souls to the farthest and unsustainable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face -to -face with the living, or at least in undead, hell at that terrible time. "World War Z" is a result.

There is a world in which a very different, trusted adaptation of the book can cost much less than $ 200 million and b) a chance to do something different, rather than adhering to the past, with the hope of a second miracle. Zombies are still popular. Horror is hot in box office. Making another "World War" makes sense. Just as the sequel to the film we already have may not be what makes sense.

The new film "World War Z" is still no publication date, but stay up to date.
