Brad Pitt to star in 'World War Z' adaptation

Brad Pitt is apparently attached to star in Paramount Pictures' big-screen adaptation of "World War Z," which is based on Max Brooks' bestseller. It's a thriller about a worldwide war trigged by zombies.
We have not heard much about the project for a while now, but J. Michael Straczynski wrote the script, which Matthew Michael Carnahan rewrote. Marc Forster ("Monster's Ball") is attached to direct the flick.
In the book, a U.N. researcher interviews survivors from all over the world about what happened 10 years ago during the bloody international crisis. Pitt's involvement should boost the project's exposure.
In related news, Paramount will also develop a movie based on Brooks' "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks." This all sounds pretty intriguing, right? (Source: MTV)
