I am guessing that no one at Paramount bothered to read the script – they only got as far as Brad Pitt and zombies and sent over a blank check

Now that they realize that they just spent a mountain of money on a courtroom procedural with precious few zombie scares and only brief battle sequences told in flashback, executive palms are getting sweaty. If they are shooting 7(!) more weeks, they are essentially making a whole new movie.

Maybe it would have been smarter to just let Brad Pitt and James Gray go make "Lost City of Z" after all.

While Paramount is throwing money around, could I get some? Any idea what this movie's budget will be after the re shoots and the platoon of screenwriters? Of course it will be PG-13 after the money they spent on it.

"but his participation is dependent on his schedule with Tom Cruise, as he will be punching up Doug Liman's "All You Need Is Kill" which is set to lens later this year."

I don't understand this sentence. Hasn't Jack Reacher finished shooting?

Man… And I loved this book. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a turdfest.

I just don't see how a PG-13 zombie can work.

Heads are going to roll at Paramount. Brad Pitt is going to fall on the sword for this. Mark my words. This movie isn't going to recoup it's high production costs plus tacking on marketing costs and advertising, it could well be within the 250 million dollar range, when it is all said and done.

Upwards of 170 million dollars, it has been rumored already spent on this movie, as it went over budget while it was filming…….and they only have 45 minutes- 1 hour of a "decent" movie. Not "great", not a sure fire "blockbuster", but decent?? How can anyone justify that, to those investors that bankrolled this film that there may just be a "decent" movie made from their investment, of which they may never see any returns??
