Anonymity is not what you want behind a tentpole.

I won't repeat myself.

Why call in Lindelof to fix the third act, when aside from its other problems Prometheus's third act was a mess.

One of the most disappointing letdowns of a previously decent project in regard to the multiple drafts that Straczynski wrote. That the film is a mess is no shock at all. It will likely end up being a huge financial disaster for everyone involved as I do not think you can make an "event" picture out of a zombie movie. The $170 mil price tag means it has to hit at least $400 worldwide to not be a total disaster. Good luck with that figure given the negative press that already exists.

The man really is a genre hopping filmmaker & I've seen most of his films & truthfully, the only thing they all have in common is how forgettable they are.

I'm not a Marc Forster fan but let's wonder about what was the initial plan for Paramount and Brad Pitt's own Plan B Entertainment. I'd say they hoped for a post-Snyder no-brainer, ripping-off the zombie genre without any clue of how it may work. Incoming: the mandatory Comicon hypocrisy/panel where producers will tell you they're HUGE fans of whatever the audience is into these days (calling the geek friendly Lindelof for rescue was a clue, don't get me wrong I like the guy though).

That seems unlikely, given the fractious relationship between director and cinematographer.
