The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Damon Lindelof (Star Trek, Prometheus) has been hired by Paramount to rewrite their zombie film Wolrd War Z, an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel which stars Brad Pitt. Originally slated for a December 2012 release, the movie was delayed earlier this year to a June 21st, 2013 release date (mostly due to the studio bring up Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher to a December release). Recently, it was revealed that the film will undergo seven weeks of reshoots (THR confirms that the reshoots will begin in September or October). Lindelof is said to be focusing primarily on the third act in the script. The movie was filmed last year in various European locations, and is directed by Marc Foster (Quantum Of Solace).

While we're on the topic of rewrites, we have another report for you. Variety says that Joby Harold - who recently wrote the graphic novel adaptation All You Need Is Kill for Warner Bros. - has been set by WB to rewrite their Twilight Zone film. The script was originally written by Jason Rothenberg, and was then rewritten by Anthony Peckham. Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) is on board to direct. WB wishes to have the film (which the studio sees as a possible tentpole) to begin production this summer.

Yeah, lets hear em? All I see is a bitter person that still holds a grudge because I reported him for being a complete asshat a while ago. I'm not being a grammar Nazi here, that is just a common misuse of the word that has always annoyed me and I'm battling against it! ..I also wasn't being completely serious, but good job in jumping in on something that has nothing to do with you..again.

I've got the sickest Horror/Genre Bending Story. I've been tired of how much of a joke horror movies have become. If everything goes according to plan I'll have details soon. Wish me luck! LOL

This is only World War Z in name. The bought the rights to a book they had no clue how to make into a movie. This movies summary so grossly deviates from the novel it is sad. And the fact that they are remaking the third act, and hiring the worst part of Prometheus to rewrite it, means this is one well funded piece of shit.

The same guy who butchered Prometheus is going to butcher World War Z? Hollywood is filled with geniuses.
