Actor Bryan Cranston is breaking into the bad times of "World War Z."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cranston is in talks to play a "small but flashy role" but little else is known about the part.
The actor is best known as the star of AMC's critically acclaimed series "Breaking Bad" as well as his part in "Malcolm in the Middle." His other upcoming projects include "Rock of Ages" and "Total Recall."
The novel "World War Z," upon which the movie is based, was written by Max Brooks. It is described as 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."
The movie adaptation stars Brad Pitt ("Ocean's 11," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") as the U.N. worker who collects the accounts. Mireille Enos (AMC's "The Killing") will play Pitt's wife, while James Badge Dale (HBO's "Pacific") will play a soldier who tries to warn everyone of the impending threat. French actress Julia Levy-Boeken ("Entourage," "Road Trip: Beer Pong") is also attached, as is Elyes Gabel ("Game of Thrones"), who will play Fassberch.
Marc Forster ("Finding Neverland," "Quantum of Solace") is directing based on a screenplay from Matthew Michael Carnahan ("State of Play") and J. Michael Straczynski ("Babylon 5," "Thor").
