It looks like the long awaited adaptation of the Max Brooks novel World War Z <\/em><\/strong>will be moving into production this June! Quantum of Solace<\/em> director Marc Forster <\/strong>is locked, loaded and ready to blow some zombies away. There was a moment where this movie was in trouble, but it looks like everything has been worked out.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0ScreenDaily<\/em>, shooting will begin in Malta. Production will then relocate to the UK and, later, Hungary. Principal photography will last well into the fall.<\/p>\n

Brad\u00a0Pitt<\/strong> is still set to star in the film as a UN researcher who is gathering stories of the great zombie war. The film chronicles a worldwide zombie outbreak through the first-hand accounts of survivors.\u00a0He’s also producing the film through his Plan B production company.<\/p>\n

J. Michael Straczynski <\/strong>and Matthew Michael Carnahan<\/strong> wrote the script for the film in which the books author was very impressed. Here’s what he said about it in a previous interview,<\/p>\n

I read Straczynski’s first draft, and it was f—ing brilliant. As the book writer I know that’s sacrilege to say, but it really was good. I turned to my wife and said ‘Honey, this is as good as the book. This is gonna be an amazing movie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
