Actor James Badge Dale is reportedly in talks to join the fight for humanity's survival against the zombie hordes.
According to Variety, Dale is in negotiations for the film adaptation of Max Brooks' "World War Z." The actor, who starred in HBO's "Pacific" as well as "The Departed," will play a soldier who tries to warn everyone of the impending threat.
The book's website describes it a recounting of the "apocalyptic and horrifying years that will make sure we never forget how close we came to total annihilation. Told from the perspective of numerous survivors from all over the world, from Denver to South Africa, Sydney to Yonkers, Malibu to India, 'World War Z' captures the sacrifices and, toward the end, the ingenuity of our race to defend and save our cities, towns, and villages from a plague that seemed virtually impossible to stop."
Brad Pitt ("Ocean's 11," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") is set to play a U.N. worker who collects the accounts. Mireille Enos, who is currently playing police officer Sarah Linden is AMC's "The Killing," will play Pitt's wife.
The movie, to be directed by Marc Forster ("Finding Neverland," "Stranger than Fiction"), is based on a script from J. Michael Straczynski ("Babylon 5," "Jeremiah") and Matt Carnahan ("State of Play," "The Kingdom").
