The follow-up would have some commonalities with the popular HBO series.
In the years following the release of the Brad Pitt-starring World War Z in 2013, a number of reports emerged about getting a follow-up film, which would have seen Pitt reuniting with Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button director David Fincher. While that sequel has been scrapped seemingly entirely, Fincher recently teased how there were elements of that project that would have felt similar to what has been accomplished with HBO's The Last of Us adaptation.
While not being an outright zombie story, The Last of Us takes place in a post-apocalyptic world in which a fungus has infected humanity, turning them into various types of mindless monsters. The series' opening scenes do feature the initial stages of the infection, though then jumps forward years in time to see how society has coped with the creatures.
With that film being more of a spiritual adaptation than a direct retelling of the source material, the outlet asked if a sequel would have been more faithful to the source, to which Fincher replied,"No, no. But there is some talk of doing that."
