Need to soothe your mind before your routine 3PM desk nap? Let this World War Z aid you. Yahoo! shared this insanely boring 2-minute long viral PSA about the zombie epidemic. It’s coma inducing. READ MORE
Imagine that’s not Brad Pitt up there, but a Paramount Pictures exec – surveying the scorched earth that resulted from the shoot of World War Z and wondering what the future holds. Just a few days ago director Marc Forster claimed that they hadn’t done that much re-shooting saying, “No, seven weeks is not correct. We shot for about four-and-a-half. Reshooting was always normal! …Our reshoots were a little more exposed in the press because we had a different ending. We felt a different ending would serve the movie better. It’s the same if you’re buying a house and you roll out a nice Persian carpet for your living room and you realize it doesn’t really fit.” READ MORE
Paramount has released an EPK style first look featurette from Marc Forster’s World War Z, their zombie movies raising the dead on June 21. The video includes comments from the cast and creative team along with some footage, nothing earth shattering though. READ MORE
Paramount Pictures’ World War Z is fast approaching on June 21st. Now, director Marc Forster is aiming to clarify reports about the length of the re-shoots telling Empire, “No, seven weeks is not correct. We shot for about four-and-a-half. Reshooting was always normal! …Our reshoots were a little more exposed in the press because we had a different ending. We felt a different ending would serve the movie better. It’s the same if you’re buying a house and you roll out a nice Persian carpet for your living room and you realise it doesn’t really fit.” READ MORE
Paramount has issued a new TV spot for Marc Forster’s World War Z, their zombie movie raising the dead on June 21. It’s pretty much the same thing as the trailer but only takes 25% of the time. READ MORE
On the heels of the US one-sheets we now have the French poster Paramount has issued for Marc Forster’s World War Z, their zombie movie raising the dead on June 21. While the design isn’t as cool as the US one, I do like the epic sweep and use of color here. READ MORE
Last Friday, Paramount Pictures invited a group of journalists to the lot to check out about 20 minutes of footage from World War Z, which is out on June 21st. After a quick hello from Brad Pitt, we saw the 3D version of the trailer that’s hitting theaters today (it hit the web earlier this week), which actually looked pretty good for a post-conversion. Following the trailer we saw about 20 minutes of footage culled together from the first two acts of the film. Then we were given a group interview with director Marc Forster, during which he fielded the questions that have been on a lot of our minds during this film’s lengthy production process. READ MORE
Pulled from Entertainment Weekly, check out several behind-the-scenes stills from Marc Forster’s World War Z, their zombie movies raising the dead on June 21. READ MORE
Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for Marc Forster’s World War Z, their action packed zombie movie raising the dead on June 21st. This trailer hints at the massive global scope of the film and includes a nifty new airplane scene. I attended a special event for the film yesterday, and will be sharing my thoughts on it late next week. READ MORE
I didn’t hate the World War Z trailer, but I was sort of underwhelmed by it despite how huge it looks. I just don’t like the zombie hordes all that much. This Super Bowl spot doesn’t change much about that, in fact I’m not sure if I saw any new shots. Let me know if you catch any! READ MORE
Blurppy has taken it upon themselves to craft up some alternate posters for World War Z. Some of them are okay. All of them are more fun than the official teaser one-sheet. READ MORE
USA Today has shared a not-so new image from World War Z, which depicts star Brad Pitt in the midst of chaos from another angle. Yes, it’s basically the same image from before, just from a different angle. Exciting stuff. READ MORE
If you’re reading this, perhaps you read my post about the year’s best trailers. Now it’s time to bring the hammer down on the worst. Like I’ve said before, marketing is an art form, and it’s just as eligible for appraisal as the product its selling. READ MORE
Paramount has never been major for the horror genre, albeit they do carry this decade’s strongest franchise, Paranormal Activity. READ MORE
Last week we got a look at the epic (and somehow underwhelming) trailer for World War Z. But that doesn’t mean they’re done shooting! I know that there were some rewrites done on the film’s third act by Drew Goddard, but for some reason I was under the impression that the six or seven weeks of re-shoots those pages required had come and gone (they started shooting those in late August/early September). But Just Jared has snapped some pics they claim are from the set in London today – November 15th. So perhaps this is an additional couple of days? Anyway – Brad Pitt looks fairly bloodied up in them. READ MORE
Not only do we have the first official hi-res image from Paramount Pictures’ World War Z, which just saw a trailer debut, but we’ve got a little comedy to run alongside it. Below, we’ve added the trailer with a twist – Pee-wee Herman provides all the voices! It premiered on “Jimmy Fallon”. READ MORE
This whole week we’ve been gearing up for war. Now we finally have the World War Z trailer. And, true to the footage we saw earlier, it looks huge. Definitely a very, very, very loose adaptation of the book. Back when running zombies were introduced to the horror vernacular I had no idea they’d eventually run so fast in film they’d look like cascading flood water. It almost feels like a Roland Emmerich touch. As for the rest of the trailer – it looks good, but nothing that I haven’t seen before in one way or another. READ MORE
Yesterday we shared the first footage from Paramount Pictures’ World War Z trailer, which premieres this Thursday on iTunes. Next up, the official website has launched, and it features the film’s logo. READ MORE
Gearing up for the trailer premiere this Thursday, ET shared the first ever footage from Paramount’s epic (and troubled) World War Z, which looks absolutely massive. READ MORE
So when Prometheus and “Lost” scribe Damon Lindelof broke a new ending to the Marc Forster-directed Brad Pitt-starrer World War Z, he didn’t actually have time to revise the script. Those duties fell to The Cabin In The Woods co-writer/helmer Drew Goddard (who also adapted the upcoming Steven Spielberg film Robopocalypse). And now? The film has entered its 7 week long reshooting stage. HeyUGuys caught up with Pitt in London – and he kind of shrugs it off as being a natural part of a “massive movie”. READ MORE
The trouble behind Paramount Pictures’ Marc Forster-directed World War Z is no secret. The stories ranged from onset issues forcing reshoots to a feud with star Brad Pitt. In fact, it was reportedly so bad that “Lost” and Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof was brought in to do a third act, but after figuring out how much additional work was needed, he handed the project off to collaborator Drew Goddard.

So when Prometheus and “Lost” scribe Damon Lindelof broke a new ending to the Marc Forster-directed Brad Pitt-starrer World War Z, he didn’t actually have time to revise the script. Those duties fell to The Cabin In The Woods co-writer/helmer Drew Goddard (who also adapted the upcoming Steven Spielberg film Robopocalypse). If you weren’t aware of how bad the project’s troubles are, word is that the situation is pretty severe. So much so that it’s not entirely clear if Forster will even be returning for the 3 weeks of re-shoots that are apparently required. READ MORE
The troubles behind World War Z have never been secret, but they’ve definitely been tackled lightly by mainstream press. That ends today as Vulture is reporting that star Brad Pitt and director Marc Forster have broken up. READ MORE
