What’s GoinG
on With...
World War Z
Brad Pitt doesn’t make many missteps,
but his attempt (he’s starring and
producing) to adapt Max Brooks’
bestseller World War Z has been
fraught with problems. The tale of
humans battling a global zombie
plague was pushed back from this
December to Summer 2013, has a
ballooning budget, needed a rewrite
of the third act and five weeks of
reshoots. Plus, Pitt and director
Marc Forster have reportedly fallen
out, making for a tense set. Let’s hope
they can bail out this sinking ship.
FRESH FACE
nora arnezeder
A true triple-threat, 23-year-old
nora Arnezeder is a French singeractor-model
who’s just beginning her
Hollywood ascent. She studied dance
and singing in Paris, became the face of
Guerlain’s fragrance Idylle in 2009, and
made her English-language film debut in
Safe House earlier this year. This month
she appears in the Bradley Cooper pic
The Words and she’ll be seen opposite
elijah Wood in the horror film Maniac.
