Alexander Skarsgård’s Dark Fantasy Epic Officially Gets a Second Chance on Paramount+

A few days ago, it was confirmed that the long-gestating World War Zsequel is finally moving ahead with Brad Pitt back in the lead role andEdward Berger set to direct. Previously, David Fincher was attached to helm the project, a sequel to Pitt’s 2013 hit, which survived a particularly difficult production. The original World War Z, directed by Marc Forster, emerged as a sturdy hit with $540 million worldwide against a budget that reportedly escalated to around $270 million — the movie was successful at the box office, but given that budget, it barely broke even. However, World War Z has been incredibly successful in its post-release era, which no doubt contributed to a sequel being greenlit. Now, another film that did so-so business at the box office but found major success on home video has re-emerged on the streaming charts.
