Brad Pitt not talking about World War Z

Our hopes for a great film adaptation of Max Brook's "World War Z", the definitive modern day Zombie survival novel, appear to be rapidly evaporating. Director Marc Forster and Executive Producer/Star Brad Pitt appear to be on "Non-speaking" terms. Using Paramount studio executives as 'go-betweens' the troubled $170 million movie needs at least 3 more weeks of shooting and the key decision makers are not even returning each others calls. News has leaked that Forster lost control of the production and the film's ending needs to be completely re-shot on location in Hungary. Even if Forster is completely replaced union rules state he must be on scene for the shooting AND will get director credit.

From the story on Vulture

"Production sources tell Vulture that it is Pitt, not Forster, who has final approval over all the new pages generated by whatever writers work on the project over the next three weeks. And the communication breakdown between actor and director over how to reshoot it severely limits Paramount’s ability to foresee an end to production. Until the pages are approved, a budget cannot be calculated. And until a budget is tallied, the amount of time that will be spent to make the changes can’t be determined, either."

The long awaited film has been plagued by a string of missteps and mistakes which have all been laid at the feet of its inexperienced Director Marc Forster:
  • Budapest authorities seized the prop weapons during shooting. Apparently nobody checked to see if it was ok to dress actors up in SWAT/Military gear armed with functional automatic weapons. Hungary is known for its very stringent gun control regulations.
  • Babylon 5 creator  J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote what zombie fans refer to as an "Outstanding" screenplay adaptation of the book, was let go just prior to production. The new film was to focus on action and running zombies much to the chagrin of WWZ fans.
  • Crew rumors strongly indicated that Marc Forster had no clue about handling large scale action movies. Leaving various seconds and unit directors autonomy to do whatever they felt like. 
  • After wrapping and returning to the US the film was declared 'unfinished, but salvageable' by Paramount Pictures.
  •  
Zombie Fans hold out hope that the movie can be pulled out of the trash bin and restored to the intended masterpiece of the genre Brad Pitt wanted to make. Sometimes labors of love require a a painful labor.

Zombie Gone Detergent

Lollipop Chainsaw's Official Trailer proves that proper Hazmat gear in a survival situation is absolutely essential. Chainsaws make a huge mess. Cheerleader mini-skirts and push up halter tops won't really protect you from contaminated zombie guts........

Hornady's "Zombie Max" Ammunition

In reality this ammo is nothing more than Varmint grade high expansion, low penetration, low recoil rounds designed for ground hogs and coyotes. We suggest standard military ball for maximum penetration of the skull and ease of re-casting and reloading in case of extended survival situations. Still, the idea of ammunition companies marketing to the "Zombie Hunters" is a nod to the popularity of the very niche horror genre.

Even Leonard Nemoy has asked the Question. Why are our governments not investigating the vast amount of evidence supporting the theory that advanced ancient civilizations existed?
Even the ancient Chinese knew about these cultures. Master Li Hongzhi in Zhuan Falun is said to have an explanation of the discovery of a prehistoric civilization as follows:

               “On earth there are continents of Asia, Europe, South America, North America,
                Oceania, Africa and the continent of Antarctica, which scientists in general geology
                called ‘continental plates’. Since the formation of continental plates until seakrang,
                there are already tens of millions of years of history. It can be said also that many
                mainland from the ocean floor that rises to the top, there are also a lot of land that
                sank to the seabed, since this condition is stable until the situation is now, already
                historic tens of millions of years."

                But in many sea floor, has found a number of large high buildings with exquisite
                carvings, and not from the cultural heritage of modern mankind, so surely the
                building that was created before he sank to the bottom of the sea. “
