''World War Z'' is a 2013 ZombieApocalypse film loosely based on [[Literature/WorldWarZ the book of the same name]]. It stars Creator/BradPitt, who also produced the film.
The film has brought new meaning to DevelopmentHell and TroubledProduction, as it's gone through several enormous revisions, suffered multiple people leaving, and eventually devolved to the point where BradPitt and the director couldn't talk to each other anymore. It's safe to say that this is one of the most aggrivating productions since ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. The entire plight can be viewed in great detail in the Trivia section.
