Brad Pitt Set to Star in World War Z Sequel

Variety is reporting that Brad Pitt is now set to star in the sequel to World War Z. As if there was any doubt! Still, after the well documented troubles on the set of the first one, ya gotta admire his gumption to willingly step back into the world of the undead.

Oscar-nominated writer Steven Knight has been tapped to pen the script for Paramount Picture’s sequel.

J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, “Penny Dreadful”) is still attached to direct with Pitt (pictured) officially attached to star in the flick whose plot details are being kept under wraps.

Pitt will produce along with Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner for Plan B.

Stay tuned, kids!
