I think after the Israel zombie hordes and the plane scene, they weren't going to top it, violence and action reached certain levels and trying to match their previous action would just make it more of the same. I think the pace change of the lab/disease bit made people interested because they had their share of action, now look at this "human" moment of heroism to save mankind, that doesn't mean killing more and more zombies. Yes it is a weird change of pace, but it stops the film from becoming repetitive

I did 3 days and a night shoot on the film as a Russian soldier in an air hanger filled with other soldiers, trucks and civilians. We had to help them onto the trucks and at another moment in filming look on in the background as a guy playing a general talks to the waiting crowd and Pitt, yes he seemed lovely.
On the night shoot we were at the track/old landing strip where they film Top Gear. On site was a large plane which I'm told is stationed there constantly.
During filming we, the soldiers, were driven up to the jet in a truck, had to get out and run up the jet stairs, and then inside the plane we had to usher people towards the exits.
Absolutely gutted to be cut from the film but to be honest haven't seen it yet so now I hope it flops.

This piece is one of the most poorly structured and incoherently written things I have seen for some time.

That original ending, even told in brief overview, sounds like an unwieldy mess (the religion stuff, wha?). This might be a case of the studio rewrite-by-committee system getting something absolutely right for once!

Great piece. Curious to read that script now. Anyone have?

Thanks to the final season of "Lost", I avoid anything with Lindelof's name on it. In this way I have avoided such turkeys as "Prometheus". I suppose I'll catch up with "WWZ" when I get a screener– D'OH I mean, a retail dvd from my favorite electronic consumer warehouse, ha ha ha nothing to see here.

Of course they'd make Russians the bad guys. While Israel of course openly and kindly allows people in its borders. Israel won't even allow Palastanians in its borders due to their religious beliefs, so I'm supposed to believe Israel became nice enough to allow anyone into its borders during an infectious zombie disease? Ha! Yeah right.
