World War Z; It’s Gonna Happen
For a while, it looked like the adaptation of Max Brooks’ zombie apocalypse novel World War Z, (Crown, 2006) might not happen because of the $125 million budget. New investors came along and the movie began filming in Glasgow, starring Brad Pitt, with Marc Foster directing. As a further indicator that it will see the light of the silver screen, it now has a release date of Dec. 21, 2012.
That also happens to be the release date of Ang Lee’s adaptation of The Life of Pi starring Tobey McGuire.
