Brad Pitt's Going To Fight WORLD WAR Z?!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Okay, I have to admit... WORLD WAR Z is a pretty great title for an epic movie set ten years after the zombie apocalypse. According to the always-on-the-ball Borys Kit over at THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Brad Pitt’s Plan B and Leo Di Caprio’s Apian Way ended up in a bidding war to see who was going to end up producing this project, based on an upcoming book by Max Brooks. He’s the same guy who wrote THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE, which was a very straightfaced joke. WORLD WAR Z is evidently not a joke at all, and we’ll see how Paramount plans to adapt this piece. Right now, no writers or director have been attached, but expect them to start moving quickly to fill those slots in the days ahead.
"Moriarty" out.

second?

Great book; Brad Pitt + Zombies, now that's a coin toss.
-
Yeah, we need another Zombie movie. cough
-
But who cares, it's like 2:30 in the morning!
-
And so does Pitt.
-
Cause if you've seen pictures of him lately the dude looks so depressed he could pass for one. I mean, can you imagine being the best looking guy in the world, able to have any kind of tail you want, settling on a piece of ass like Angelina Jolie, leaving your wife (albeit a boring no talent wife), but only after a few months end up with a human balloon who seems to battling Oprah for the grandstander of the year award, and has moved you to the backwoods capital of the world, Africa? Even zombies make better decisions.
-
Will he dump Jolie on the set of this film and start shagging a corpse?
-
I've got a dream, fanciful I know but in this dream someone will make a film where - now, get this, the dead have risen and are taking over the world - you know, kinda like zombies but these one's would be really decayed and bloodthirtsy. Then, humanity has to form tight bands of survivors and they have to survive in this post apocalyptic world. Ah well - I know it's nothing more than a pipe dream and it'll never happen in my life but we can only hope.
-
Good or bad, this flic is gonna rock. Only thing that could be better is if Peter Jackson finally gets down to doing his zombie epic!
-
They were an element of 24. Just picture it, angry as fuck zombies unleashed across the L.A. proper, and only one man (with the help of a deceased ex-president and a simple canvas sack) can turn the tide for the living.
Of course we all know who that man would be...
The only way you could make him any harder is if you gave him a lightsaber and a handful of GRAVITAS -
Let's get plutonic baby!
-
...automatically lead to safe sex because of the sterility brought on by the radioactivity? I dunno. But I do know I enjoy a good post-apocalyptic zombie film. And Pitt did some very competent action-type-hero work in Mr & Mrs Smith. Could be worht a look.
-
you wont think its a straight faced joke when you find yrself being eaten by The Swarm and you say to yrself, "Man, what was chapter 2 about again? i'm sure that would save my life right about now..." and then the rest of yr thoughts are cut off by the teeth of a zombie on yr brain...
-
just watched Zombie Flesh Eaters last night, first underwater zombie? Anyways add in some Pitt and plenty of the living dead and I'll see you on opening night.
-
We've got Zombie Survival Guide, Walking Dead, Cell and now this. I'm very excited as I cannot get enough zombies. If you haven't read Walking Dead, do. It's like an old Romero flick meets 'Lost'. Unbelievable stuff.
-
with brad pitt in it. you know that this will be a zombie movie with a HUGE budget. that should be interesting
-
I love a good zombie movie, this sounds like a good project to predict death for before it even gets off the ground though. I think we're on the tail end of the horror movie cycle, about 70% through the superhero cycle, and we're about to move into the Global-Warming-Destroying-The-Planet-and-Killing-Millions cycle (not actually killing people yet, just the movies at this point). I also think we'll see quite a few more movies about political corruption at high levels and corporate corruption at every level. I think the only zombies will see in a future movie are going to be whoever plays Cheney and Rumsfeld.
-
It's about time we got one from the zombie's point of view.
-
If Hollywood wasn't going to make it, I was going to breakdown and do it myself. Now... It looks like I can just relax.
-
they don't decay?
-
I'd make a zombie movie too and I'll tell you why: Because there are so goddamned many zombie movies already that it's tempting to take a shot at being the best of the lot.
-
..rocks, and rocks hard. Greatest fucking zombie-based fictional non-fiction book in history.
-
Zombies... Baby! Yeah! Yeah! I look forward to it.
-
flipped me out. I KNOW that its not real, but while reading it I found myself planning how I could stockade my appartment and use it, since its on the 3rd floor, as an inpenatrable fortress of zombieless freedom! God, I'm a loser!
-
But, no actors are attached, I don't have a script, director, producer or start date. I don't even have a distrubtor. But, some of the biggest stars in Hollwood have looked at it! Well, they've looked at me holding the script but, they've looked at it. Its called...what was my story about again?
-
I heard here that it was pitched the same time as Jericho and Heroes. Where is it already?
-
Anyone see that zombie on ECW tuesday night?
-
AWESOME!
-
I am very particular about the zombie movies I like--Shock Waves; Night of the Living Dead; I Walked With a Zombie; Dawn of the Dead REMAKE (original bored me); 28 Days Later (until the military crap)--and I am wondering what you who've seen it think of Cannibal Holocaust. I know that it's technically not a zombie flick but it is kinda sorta part of that ambience. Your thoughts on this -- and any other suggestions -- greatly appreciated.
-
...PlutoNick. So apparently it's not the testicles, but the funny bone that gets impaired by prolonged exsposure to plutonium...or is that Platonium? Which would be funnier? Oh, wait. You wouldn't know.
-
that is all.
-
I liked Cannibal Holocaust, but don't really see any similarities to that and zombie movies.
-
I like the idea of a zombie flick from the zombies perspective. We know they crave brains, but how might they pass the time when they've run out of victims...hmmm...I wonder...
-
The diet?
-
He's just producing it. While it would be interesting to see Pitt in an all-out zombie war movie, I highly doubt it's going to happen. It'll probably be a relatively low budget movie, since horror movies are pretty much easy money for studios.
-
You do know, this is LEONARDO DICAPRIO we are talking about!? Right? Not the Ninja Turtle...
-
brad pitt was tyler durden. leo couldn't even grow the balls to be patrick bateman, who deep down was a sniveling pussy anyway, so the part would've fit him.
