David Fincher Says His Sequel To 'WORLD WAR Z' Would Have Been Like HBO's THE LAST OF US

World War Z was a film that many were excited for in 2013 when it was released but man oh man did it have a ton of production issues that make a sequel almost an impossibility and now director David Fincher, who was set to helm the films sequel has chimed in about the future or lack thereof of one for World War Z.

Even though the film was marred with problems and some spotty CGI zombie action, the flick pulled in a hefty $540 million at the box office.

Fincher’s involvement led to Brad Pitt agreeing to return, but delays followed and the sequel was scrapped. 

Talking to GQ, Fincher finally shed some light on what he had planned for the movie. 

"Well, it was a little like The Last of Us," he reveals.

"I'm glad that we didn't do what we were doing, because The Last of Us has a lot more real estate to explore the same stuff. In our title sequence, we were going to use the little parasite...they used it in their title sequence, and in that wonderful opening with the Dick Cavett, David Frost-style talk show."

Asked if the movie was going to be a closer adaptation of Max Brooks' novel, Fincher added, "No, no. But there is some talk of doing that."

It sounds like something World War Z-related could be brewing, though it was previously reported that Fincher's version was scrapped due to China's ban on movies featuring zombies.

We’ll see what happens in the future and we’ll keep ya posted either way.
