5.28 Brad Pitt To Star In 'World War Z' Sequel:

Brad Pitt has official signed on to star in Paramount Pictures upcoming sequel to 'World War Z', reports Variety... Last summer WWZ became a surprising hit, in spite being over budget and many production woes, including a third act that was re-shot.. The film grossed $540,007,876 world wide on a $190 million dollar budget..


The film centered around a United Nations employee Gerry Lane traveling around the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to decimate humanity itself...

The sequel to WWZ will be Directed By: J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, Penny Dreadful), Steven Knight will pen the script.. Along with Pitt the film will be produced By: Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner for Plan B...

The plot is not known at this time and no release date has been set as of yet... I am willing to bet that Paramount will keep the budget in check this time around.. I for one enjoyed the first flick, so I'm definitely looking for to the upcoming sequel!
