>After previously taking the film off its calendar, Paramount Pictures looks to be moving forward with a “World War Z” sequel, with David Fincher directing and Brad Pitt back to star, thanks to the studio’s new chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos, according to knowledgeable sources.
>While Gianopulos has not officially official greenlit the movie yet, he is expected to do so in coming weeks. This will likely be among the studio chief’s first greenlit movies. Sources say that production would probably begin in the first quarter of 2018.
>A spokesperson for the studio has not yet responded to a request for comment.
>Variety first reported last summer that Pitt had been courting Fincher to direct the pic and that the director was intrigued by the idea. The plans had to be put on hold while Pitt dealt with his divorce from Angelina Jolie, and were put into question once the studio, then headed by Brad Grey, took the film off the calendar to consider whether or not to move forward with the tentpole.
>Gianopulos has since taken over the studio reins and over the past month, has been weighing which projects to pursue and let go from the previous regime’s slate.
>If the deal is finalized as expected, it would mark a big milestone in the long development process that started last summer. Pitt met with a handful of directors but nothing materialized until he decided to reach out to Fincher to try and woo him for another collaboration.
>direct the best film of your career
>immediately follow it up with schlock
Why?
>Gianopulos has a long standing relationship with the director, going back to Fincher’s most recent film, 2014’s “Gone Girl,” which Gianopolus gave the go-ahead to when he was chairman at 20th Century Fox. Fincher and Pitt made their 1999 feature “Fight Club” at Fox.
>Fincher hasn’t directed a film since “Gone Girl.” The filmmaker has been turning his attention to television as of late. He recently shot the Netflix pilot “Mind Hunters.”
>Sources say that Fincher, who is weary of sequels, having aired his displeasure during his time on “Alien 3,” has always been open to listening to Pitt when the actor reaches out. The duo nearly collaborated on a reboot of “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” for Disney a few years ago, but that project never move forward.
>A Fincher-Pitt reunion on “World War Z” would mark their fourth film together, having previously worked on “Se7en,” “Fight Club,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

I enjoyed the action much more than Revenge of the Sith and it didn't suffer from Jar Jar oversaturation like The Phantom Menace.
Surprised that so many people shit on it as the weakest when RotS was basically a string of rushed events to turn the Republic into the Empire in 2 hours.
>>82094275
RotS is the best because it gave us the best Sheev.
You forgot Obi v Jango in space.
Obi wan's whole kamino story in this movie is so comfy
What did you like most about the Paranormal Activity series?
>>82094265
They were unintentionally hilarious at times.
The first director's cut was done well. It got too dumb afterwards like how Saw 1 was good only.

What made capeshit from the 2000s so kino and distinctive compared to today?
The Avengers is the only movie from this decade that comes close to 2000s capeshit
Nostalgia.
>>82093670
It wasn't part of a formulaic "cinematic universe" so they could be distinct and unique.
adapting comic book properties still felt novel and there wasn't a demand to put out like three movies a year so there was room to develop ideas and the general standards of filmmaking

I was interested in The Americans until I heard it being compared, positively, to Homeland.
Is it also pure 100% american propaganda like homieland? Or does it at least try to be nuanced?
>>82093504
It's honestly pretty good, but like most shows, it partially relies on a sexual undercurrent and it can sometimes distract from the main plotline of the show.
I like it, but I have some gripes with it as well. It's a solid 7.5/10. There are things in there that are totally ridiculous and even unrealistic. For example, the Russian woman has a relationship with a black dude, has sexual relations with him before he's killed, etc. On the other hand, the Russian guy (her husband) gets to fuck several 9/10s and 10/10s.
I wish they kind of threw away the sexual element, but it's just a mainstay in current shows nowadays.
>>82093504
It's a show about a man who lets himself be cucked for his country.
