Sequel to Brad Pitt’s ‘World War Z’ is in works

Brad Pitt is getting his action franchise, after all.

A person close to Pitt’s World War Z has said that Paramount Pictures is likely to develop a sequel to the apocalyptic zombie thriller. The person was not authorised to announce the plans and spoke on condition of anonymity.

World War Z, based on Max Brooks’ novel, was always intended to spawn a trilogy for Pitt, who stars as a United Nations inspector. But that seemed in doubt when the film ran significantly over budget and was forced to reshoot its ending.
