‘World War Z 2’ Bringing Back Brad Pitt With Director Edward Berger
- Paramount Pictures is moving forward with a sequel to 'World War Z,' with Brad Pitt set to star and filmmaker Edward Berger signed to direct the feature.
- After more than a decade of development delays, the project follows previous iterations intended for directors David Fincher and J.A. Bayona before stalling on budget concerns.
- Pitt and Berger recently wrapped production on the A24 pic 'The Riders,' and British playwright Dennis Kelly, who won a Tony for 'Matilda the Musical,' is penning the script.
- Co-Chairs Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg designated the sequel a high-priority project after Skydance took over Paramount in 2025, confirming their commitment at the recent Cinemacon event.
- The original 2013 film earned more than $540 million at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing zombie film of all time and setting a significant commercial benchmark.
