The zombie horde is coming just in time for Christmas. Paramount Pictures has announced its adaptation of Max Brook's "World War Z" will arrive in theaters on Dec. 21, 2012.
The film will opening against Disney's "The Lone Ranger," which stars Johnny Depp in the title role, and will also be competing against the first half of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit," which opens one week earlier on Dec. 14.
The novel "World War Z" 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. It was also recently announced Bryan Cranston is in talks to play a "small but flashy role" in the film.
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").
