Damon Lindelof Hired To Rewrite ‘World War Z’

Well it’s a pretty good day to be Damon Lindelof. Today not only sees the release of Prometheus, which he co-wrote, but THR is reporting that Lindelof has been hired to rewrite Paramount’s World War Z. He was brought in to polish up the films troubled third act.

World War Z, staring and produced by Brad Pitt, has been in trouble for awhile now. The zombie film from director Marc Forster was originally set for release in December but was then moved to June 21, 2013. Reshoots are set to begin in September and October. The film was shot last year in Europe and also stars Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale and Anthony Mackie.

The film is based on based on the 2006 book by Max Brooks, which tells the story of the decade-long zombie war (World War Z), from the individual accounts of various survivors around the world.

Only time will tell if wonder boy Lindelof can work some magic on the script and save the day. Stay tuned and find out!
