Zombie movies are a veritable genre of their own. From Dawn of the Dead to Shaun of the Dead, tales of the undead emerging and wreaking havoc can be small-time indie flicks, huge blockbusters, cartoon adventures, or prestige TV. But there’s one standout in this film landscape: World War Z, the 2013 disaster epic starring Brad Pitt.
Since the movie’s release more than a dozen years ago, rumors of a sequel have been swirling, and multiple directors have been attached to the project. But now, it looks like things are finally moving — and Brad Pitt is coming back, along with a renowned filmmaker.
