It was recently reported that the movie adaptation of Max Brooks' World War Z was headed back to Budapest for a whopping seven weeks of reshoots, but it wasn't clear exactly why.

Well, here's our answer, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter: the script is getting an overhaul from LOST and Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof, with reshoots due to start in the fall. Word is that Lindelof will focus on fixing up the movie's third act.

World War Z's June 21, 2013 release date hasn't been officially shifted yet.

Bad news for Marc Forster's movie adaptation of Max Brooks' World War Z: the production is headed back to Budapest for a whopping seven weeks of reshoots.

The zombie flick has already been pushed back from December 2012 to June 21, 2013, and now The Daily Mail reports that star Brad Pitt will be returning to the set for what appears to be an extensive reworking of the movie.

Of course, WWZ isn't the only major summer movie to be pushed back for reshoots. G.I. Joe: Retaliation was recently delayed in order to shoot new scenes in 3D and give Channing Tatum more screen time.

Whether World War Z's problems are bigger than that remains to be seen.
