Yet, despite both World War Z and the last Friday the 13th installment — released back in 2009 — banking big bucks at the box office, Paramount has seemingly been in no hurry to get sequels to either film out there.
Both World War Z 2 and the 13th Friday the 13th — reportedly yet another reboot of the franchise — have now spent years in development hell, with more than one director and writer(s) attached to each.
On the other side of the spectrum, 2013 big budget zombie opus World War Z was a film seemingly designed with a franchise in mind, right down to featuring A-list actor Brad Pitt in the lead role.
Sadly, that trend doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon, as The Wrap reports Paramount has pulled both films from its 2017 schedule.
