Movies and television, despite the fact that both are mediums where actors reenacting usually fictional scenarios are recorded on cameras and screened for rapt audiences, are not the same. They’re completely different mechanisms for storytelling — one is obviously longer than the other, with more of an emphasis on character and story evolution, while the other tells an immediately compelling plot in a more economical amount of time.

The ‘Fight Club’ filmmaker, 61, was set to do a follow up to director Marc Foster’s 2013 apocalyptic zombie movie starring Brad Pitt, 59, but said he was relieved it never happened as the plot was too similar to HBO’s hugely popular dystopian thriller ‘The Last of Us’.
