THR reports that Juan Antonio Bayona, who last directed the fright flick The Orphanage, has signed a deal to direct the sequel to Paramount and Skydance Productions’ World War Z.
Bayona was on the very short shortlist of directors a few weeks ago. He met with Pitt, who produced Z via his Plan B banner and is also producing the sequel, before getting the gig. No writers are attached at this stage, but Bayona will oversee the writing process.
Stay tuned, kids!
