Last year, Variety had confirmed that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Dicaprio's sixth collaboration together "Killers of the Flower Moon" would start production this summer.

David Fincher’s sequel to the 2013 zombie flick “World War Z” has been cancelled, The Playlist reports
Paramount is halting pre-production on the sequel due to “budgetary issues.” The sequel was supposed to start shooting this spring in Atlanta. There are no efforts to revitalize the film, at least as of this moment. This means Fincher is free as a bird to pick his next project.
