What do you think about Gilliam's proposed ending?

kleinbl00, same question.

I think the Internet is fixating on that today because Reddit found it. There were about five different versions of Watchmen through the years, including a Joel Schumacher one that would have starred Schwartzenegger as Manhattan. None of them got past the planning stage. You would not believe the stupid shit that happens at the planning stage, and it takes an idiot to think it matters. The ending of World War Z didn't happen until they'd finished the movie, showed it to audiences, and panicked because everyone hated it. Hello $70m in reshoots.

So what you're saying is that WWZ's ending used to be even worse?! Such a lazy ending as is. -'Ive got an idea, lets introduce narration, that'll fix this".
