Director Forster Will NOT Return For World War Z Sequel

While Paramount wants to make a sequel to its zombie epic "World War Z" it seems that director Marc Forster will not return to call action.

A recent article in THR about Brad Pitt's Plan B Productions® company revealed the news.
 
Forster reportedly clashed with others on set, but was right alongside Pitt doing the promotional work on the film during the movie's release.


Asked where the project stands now, Pitt says: "We are going to investigate a script. We have a lot of ideas we will cull from. Nobody is writing just yet, but we are compiling our ideas."

The film--which is now on disc is based on the Max Brooks' created comic book Set a decade after a virus has turned much of the planet's population into zombies, the story follows a journalist interviewing subjects from around the world about their experiences during the 'zombie war'. The book fuses elements of political satire, war and survival horror as it explores how various nations, governments and individuals respond to the crisis.

The book is actually an anthology, each chapter is essentially an interview of a different subject in a different part of the world, allowing each chapter to focus on how people and nations reacted to the crisis before, during and after.
