Als ich das letzte mal was von der Filmadaption von Max Brooks „World War Z“ hörte, lag der Film auf Eis und das Projekt galt als „drop dead“. War mal wieder Filmgerüchtebullshit, denn auf der Comic Con hat Max Brooks selbst MTV erzählt, dass der Film kommt, Brad Pitt die Hauptrolle spielen wird und Paramount gleich noch zwei weitere seiner Zombiebücher verfilmen will.
While chatting up “World War Z” author Max Brooks at the booth for comic publisher Avatar Press, the writer confirmed to MTV News that the adaption of his novel about the zombie apocalypse is not only moving forward, but Brad Pitt is now officially attached to star in the film. Additionally, Brooks revealed that Paramount has optioned the movie rights to two more of his projects: “The Zombie Survival Guide” and “The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks” graphic novel.
Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment first secured the rights to “World War Z” back in 2007 after a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio’s company, Appian Way. The actor has long been rumored as a potential lead for the film, but Brooks received the call confirming Pitt’s attachment (and the other “Survival Guide” deals) while signing copies of the books at the Avatar booth tonight (Wednesday, July 21) during Preview Night at Comic-Con.
