World War Z - First footage from behind the scenes.

[Loyal Retainer]

The latest twist on World War Z is that the producers have hired Damon Lindelhof to do a "re-write" of the script prior to the movie going into post-production. I haven't seen anything like official confirmation yet, but when the rumors started breaking Lindelhof announced, via Twitter, that he was going into an extended period of "radio silence" starting today. I'm not sure how much of a re-write you can apply to a movie that's already mostly been filmed, but here's hoping Lindelhof can infuse some magic into the final product!

So, it's going to full of gaping holes in the plot now he is rewriting it? Sorry, I kid, I kid (kind of) I just heard a story on NPR with him talking about Prometheus and the interviewer grilled him about the plot hole you could drive a Mac truck through in Lost. The worst part is he didn't really try to justify any of it, he simply said if he had been in charge of writing on Lost he probably would have enjoyed how the series ended.

Principle Photography is complete and now they re-write?

So that's how movies are made now... backwards.

I fear that this might turn out to be one of those "legendary" movies that never see the light of day. Complications in post, IP skirmishes in court, a morass of distribution complications...

The initial word was that they did drop the anthology style. It was supposedly shot so that the character played by Brad Pitt could be present at the key events depicted in the book, telling it all from his point of view. There's not telling if that will survive the re-shoot, re-write, and editing process intact.

And how will he manage to be at all those key events?

By traveling as a cloud of black smoke

C'mon, 7odd. Didn't you know Brad Pitt is a secret agent, astronaut, submariner, cowboy, soldier, doctor with a magical teleportation device which would allow him to break the laws of physics and be in multiple location at the same time? How else would he be able to recount the Battle of Yonkers, know what's up on the International Space Station and find out the only boomer sub that stayed under didn't have any infection 'til it surfaced? Magic!!!

And that's just what he does on Tuesdays!
