David Fincher Wants to Direct ‘World War Z 2’; Ball Is in Paramount’s Court
http://collider.com/world-war-z-2-david-fincher/

Yesterday, Paramount Pictures did some house cleaning. The studio dropped two major releases from their 2017 release schedule — Friday the 13th and World War Z 2. The studio has since officially put the kibosh on their troubled F13 reboot, but they’re reportedly aiming for a 2018 or 2019 release World War Z 2.

Today, a new report has shed some light on the status of Brad Pitt‘s zombie pandemic sequel and the only real question now is, what the hell is the hold up? THR reports that David Fincher wants to direct World War Z 2, but Paramount is dragging its heels. Yeah, you read that right. David freaking Fincher, one of the best living directors, wants to direct the freaking World War Z sequel and the studio is just like, not sure. That is straight up insane.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ 2 and 3: In Defense of Gore Verbinski’s Gloriously Weird Sequels
http://collider.com/pirates-of-the-caribbean-2-and-3-defense/

Verbinski got away with something here, and while audiences didn’t immediately respond, these movies have aged incredibly well. Every studio is chasing its own interconnected universe—which is fine; Marvel certainly knows what it’s doing—but there’s something to be said for an epic, ambitious, and narratively complex trilogy made on a massive scale, directed by a man whose desire to make some seriously weird movies was miraculously undeterred. Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End are lightning in a bottle, and that bottle has aged very, very well.

Purge is at least a scripted actual movie. With a theme that can be altered enough to create some unique sequels. Paranormal was locked into the found footage gimmick, and when they did alter course the fans didn't buy in. I can't praise the Purge flicks too much. Good b-c flicks that were carried in the last 2 by Frank Grillo. They are fast food horror entries. Usually released at an opportune time. Saw used to do it, then Paranormal, and now, till the well runs dry, Purge. They are all the kind of movies that people who want to go to a movie say, 'Well, there isn't anything else to see, let's go see ______." Fills a need. Whatever.
