‘World War Z’ Far From Realization
The boys over at Dark Horizons translated an article at Migros Magazin that reports some disheartening news for World War Z fans as Quantum of Solace and Monster’s Ball director Marc Foster tells the mag that the film’s script still needs a lot of development and is “still far from realization“. As a result he’s likely moving forward with another project entitled Disconnect which is ‘ready to go’. World War Z is a sober telling of the aftermath of a war fought against a legion of humans who were inflicted with a virus, died and were reanimated into flesh-eating zombies.
