More WORLD WAR Z Details Are Released By Paramount

Yesterday as you may recall, we announced the release date for the Marc Forster-directed World War Z. Well today we managed to get a hold of the official press release from Paramount which was made yesterday, and we now have a few morel details regarding the geo-political zombie thriller

- such as the plot and some casting updates.

The story is said to revolve around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. Enos plays Gerry's wife Karen Lane; Kertesz is his comrade in arms, Segen. The plot is a bit interesting because the Max Brooks best-selling novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War which the movie is based on, dealt with the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Hopefully this approach will work for the film.

Casting updates include, Daniella Kertesz in her feature film debut, James Badge Dale (The Departed) and Matthew Fox -who was heavily rumored to have declined the role due to prior commitments.

World War Z starring Brad Pitt and Mireille Enos opens on December 21, 2012.
