World War Z Sequel Officially Moving Forward with Brad Pitt and Director Edward Berger
The @DiscussingFilm post reports (citing Deadline) that a sequel to the 2013 zombie blockbuster is happening, with Brad Pitt returning as Gerry Lane and Edward Berger (*Conclave*, *All Quiet on the Western Front*) attached to direct. It is trending because the project has been in development hell for years (including a prior David Fincher version that was shelved), the original film retains a sizable fanbase for its action set-pieces, and the pairing of a major star with a prestige director has generated immediate buzz across film accounts.
