By jon-niles-mstarz-reporter | Jun 20, 2013 02:00 PM EDT

World War Z finally hits theaters tomorrow June 21 after a long battle with re-writes and distribution. Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt both stars in and produced the apocalyptic thriller, and it was not an easy task.

Another huge part of the movie (based on the 2006 Max Brroks novel of the same name) was the script. "Lost" creator Damon Lindelof was brought in to consult and then ultimately fix the film's ending. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 40-year-old writer discussed how he and co-writer Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) altered the film's troubled spots. Read More »
