Glasgow Stars as Philly in World War Z!

More pics are coming off the set of Marc Forster’s film version of Max Brooks’ zombie apocalypse story World War Z. Shooting has moved from Malta to the Cornish coast of England and now up to Glasgow, which is doubling as the American city of Philadelphia.
As we told you way back in July (I know, seems like AGES ago!), Brad Pitt and his Plan B production company wrested the rights from Appian Way and Leonardo DiCaprio three years ago in 2008 for the rights to Brooks’ book. Now the ‘world’s most famous DILF’ (I love saying that and will say it every chance I get, so get used to it) stars as the main character, also called Max Brooks, (a fictionalized version of the author, who is the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft) who travels around the world, ten years after a planet wide zombie epidemic, on behalf of the United Nations, collecting and documenting stories from survivors of the battles against the zombie hoards. The epidemic is referred to as the titular World War Z that almost eradicated the human race.
The official synopsis: World War Z revolves 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.”
Thanks to HeyUGuys, we have a few cool pics of GlasPhilly. We also have a couple of Brad and his blue eyes that match his shirt.
World War Z also stars Anthony Mackie, Mireille Enos (from AMC’s ‘The Killing’-woot!) as Lane’s wife Karen and James Badge Dale (from HBO’s ‘The Pacific’- double woot!). Matthew Fox has reportedly dropped out due to ‘scheduling conflicts’.
Forster is bringing one of the year’s most hotly anticipated films (by me), Machine Gun Preacher, with Gerard Butler, Michelle Monihan and Michael Shannon, to TIFF next month where it will get a RED CARPET GALA WORLD PREMIERE (any excuse to say that as well) ahead of its September 23 US release. It hits the UK on 18 November. World War Z will storm into theaters December 12, 2012 (12122012. Must be a good number for zombies). In any case, I can’t wait!!
