Brad Pitt Vanity Fair Cover Story Reveals World War Z Was “Nightmare” Production

According to director Marc Foster and studio executives, the budget soared to $200 million as problems on set and with the script led to 40 minutes of the film being reshot to get a more comprehensible ending.

Vanity Fair reports that when the director’s cut was first screened, the room was “silent.”

“It was, like, Wow. The ending of our movie doesn’t work. I believed in that moment we needed to reshoot the movie,” says one Paramount executive.

An entire 12-minute Russian battle scene was thrown out as the World War Z team scrambled to create an improved ending to the film.
