Brad Pitt Is Going To Be Fighting Zombies


The 'Fight Club' actor is set to star in the film version of the 'Word War Z'. The novel was written in 2006 by Max Brook's and details first person accounts of a zombie war that takes over the world.

Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, first acquired the rights to World War Z in 2007 after a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way company.

A few days ago it was released that AMC's 'The Killing' starlet Mireille Enos was also cast in the film to star as Brad's wife and mother of two girls.

Marc Foster will be directing the big-budget movie and the script was written by J. Michael Straczynski and Matt Carnahan. The movie is scheduled to begin shooting in June in London, Matla and other locations around the world.

My husband is a huge zombie genre fan and read this book a while ago. He said it was pretty good and has been trying to get me to read it for years, maybe it's time I finally catch up on it.
