One of the major reasons why Paramount was forced to pull World War Z 2 off its release schedule, was because the film never went into production in the first place.

He’s worked with Brad Pitt twice before, so the idea makes plenty of sense. Well, it looks like Fincher is still very much interested in the gig. Find out more on the story below.
