BRAD PITT TALKS 'WORLD WAR Z' SEQUEL...

World War Z was one of the biggest box office surprises of 2013. The big-budget zombie film, which faced several production delays and a rewrite of the entire third act, seemed destined to bomb. Instead, it ended up becoming Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing film ever, earning a healthy $533 million worldwide.

The unexpected success of the film led to immediate talk of multiple sequels. In a recent interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, Pitt confirmed that Paramount is working on a script for the first follow-up now.

Speaking with Variety, Pitt said:

“We gotta get the script right first to determine if we go further.”

And that’s no small task. As Pitt went on to explain, the time spent working on the first film has given them plenty of options for the second film:

“We have so many ideas on the table from the time we spent developing this thing and figuring out how the zombie worlds work… We think we have a lot of stuff to mine from.”

 if Pitt and his collaborators wish to truly expand on the zombie world they created, returning to the book would be a great start. Each chapter offers a unique character and situation that could potentially warrant its own full-length movie.

In reality, however, the sequel will need to feature Brad Pitt’s character returning, which presents some interesting options.
