Marc Forster Reviews, Interviews & More

The term "viral video" is close to meaningless as studios and companies have latched on to the idea. They don't spread like keyboard cat, with interested parties passing them videos amongst themselves, they spread because a studio launches them into the world and tell everyone about it. World War Z is the latest movie to embrace this craze by suggesting that crisis in...

One of the summer's biggest question marks is Marc Forster's World War Z, which Paramount delayed from the end of 2012, into June 2013 and hired new writers to punch up/totally re-write the ending. Did they have enough good stuff to make all those reshoots (supposedly there were more recently) worth it? Perhaps. Check out the new trailer that plays up the global...

There’s not much more that we can say about the Super Bowl TV spot for Marc Forster's upcoming zombie apocalypse film World War Z than we already noted in the headline—the 30 second clip basically crams in some loud Inception orchestral bleats, some heavy CGI, and Brad Pitt’s remarkably goofy haircut before abruptly ending so that we...

After months and months of bad press—director Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) has lost control of the production, massive budget and scheduling overruns, rewrite after rewrite, extensive alterations from Max Brooks’ novel, etc.—World War Z finally got a 30 second preview earlier this week, which didn’t tell us much...

World War Z hasn’t exactly had an easy go of things.   Rumor has it that Marc Forster (yes, the director who was similarly in over his head with Quantum of Solace) lost control of the production, with budget overruns, constant script rewrites, and ghost direction forcing the film to move from a December 2012 release to a much more distant...

Earlier this month, we reported to you that the increasingly troubled World War Z production will be entering into six to seven weeks of reshoots to reshape the film’s second half, with rewrites provided by Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof.  After much speculation, The Hollywood Reporter has delivered the inside scoop as to what went wrong with the production—a...

Well, this isn’t entirely surprising. News broke today that World War Z, the Brad Pitt-starring, Marc Forster-directed adaptation of the Max Brooks novel might be evolving from a single-film adaptation and into a three-movie franchise, all of which will star Pitt as a UN fact-finder up against a world-wide zombie pandemic.

For a while there after Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake, everything seemed to be coming up Zombie. Horror cycles through certain ideas, and the undead became a staple. This trend seems to be dead as Paramount is - according to Vulture - balking at making  World War Z for a $125 Million dollar price tag. The film was to star...

Walt Disney has confirmed a report that director Marc Forster is in talks to helm their new sci-fi property, The Runner. Over at Deadline, that got word that the studio acquired a pitch for the film that also has super producer Brian Grazer attached. With the power of Disney, the business savvy of Grazer, and the creative vision of Forster, they might be on to...

It was released a couple of weeks ago that in the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, Bond will not say the classic line" Bond. James Bond." Although they are going for a "new" take on the film, they need to play by the rules. Director Marc Forster told The Independent: “There was a ‘Bond, James Bond’ in the script. There are several places where we shot it...
