The ending of World War Z almost looked completely different… and it might have ruined the entire movie.
When released, what audiences actually got was a surprisingly hopeful, global conclusion not often seen in the Zombie Apocalypse genre. One that set the film apart from nearly every other zombie story produced.
But the original ending? It was muchdarker. Smaller in scale. And turned Brad Pitt's Gerry Lane into something the movie was never supposed to be.
Because sometimes… the difference between a great movie and a disaster comes down to one decision.
