20 Most Exciting Movies Announced In 2017

5. World War Z 2

David Fincher World War Z
Sony Pictures

Release Date: TBA

When it was first announced last year that David Fincher was in tallks to direct the zombie blockbuster sequel to World War Z, it sounded like a far-fetched rumour with no factual basis whatsoever.

Then Fincher officially signed on the dotted line this past summer, and is currently hard at work trying to hammer the script into shape, with Paramount insisting that they won't be rushing the movie into production.

While on one hand there's the worry that Fincher will again be kinda-squandering his talents on dime store material, he has enjoyed terrific success making classy movies out of trashy texts, so it's hard not to trust his instincts here.

Presumably Fincher has earned full creative control moving forward, given his zero tolerance policy on studio meddling following the Alien 3 debacle, which is nothing if not encouraging.
