Depends on how it's set up; it could also be the first arrangement I'm aware if where a VFX company makes residuals.
Either way, seems kinda shady.
Also those vfx companies are gonna be shit out of luck when this movie bombs
I continue to be baffled by the process of filming a 200 million dollar movie before you've even written a 3rd act. How the fuck did we get to this point? That's like trying to fly a plane before you've finished building the wings.
If you tried that in any other industry, your ass would be out in the street or in jail. I mean christ, it was Brad Pitt's own production company, why did he feel so pressured to start filming on this if they clearly weren't ready, wait 3 months and you save tens of millions of dollars.
I THINK it's the other way around. The ending in Russia was to set up the sequel, and once the rough cut was assembled everyone realized turning the main character into a zombie killing machine wasn't working, so they came up with a more final ending. They'll worry about the sequel later.
They HAD a third act, shot it, then decided it didn't work and shot a different one.
I'm starting to think that the film will imitate the spirit of the book, in terms of the geo-political content, just not the style. Which, hey, I guess I'm okay with. I'd love to see the mockumentary version of World War Z, but a smart, relevant action-thriller is fine by me any day. It probably won't actually live up to that, but my hopes are up.
No they do, but they're still human, so sometimes they fuck up in trying to make the wrong decision and accidentally make a decent one.
For what its worth, I'm inclined to blame Marc Foster for fucking up here more than anyone at the studio. Remember, he was Brad Pitt's choice, not necessarily the studio's. This looks more like the studio scrambling to fix his mess and make a workable, entertaining summer blockbuster.
A positive review from Harry Knowles means fuck all, he might be the least credible person on the internet.
Drew I trust though, so expect it to suck.
