‘World War Z 2’ Is Back From The Dead And Will Begin Filming

World War Z 2 Moving Forward

It has been a while since any news about the upcoming sequel to World War Z has surfaced. Today we can report the film has now entered into preproduction and is preparing to begin filming late this summer. WWZ 2 will follow United Nations Investigator Gerry Lane, played by Brad Pitt, and the continued fight to rid the world of the zombie plague. The original director, J. A. Banyon, stepped away from the project last year and the new director for WWZ 2 has yet to be announced. But it sounds like the new director, who ever he or she might be, is already in negotiations. The film also got a new writer, Dennis Kelly, who has taken over for Steve Knight. WWZ was very different from most of the zombie movies of 2013.

As we reported back in May, J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage) has signed on to direct ‘World War Z 2′, the follow up to 2013’s zombie outbreak movie starring Brad Pitt. Bayona recently got the offer to direct ‘Jurassic World 2’, but is locked into a deal with Paramount for ‘WWZ 2’ . Dennis Kelly will now be taking over for Steve Knight as scriptwriter for ‘WWZ 2′. Kelly is behind such films as ‘Utopia’, ‘Black Sea’ and will be writing the script for the upcoming remake of ‘Matilda’. Knight’s reason for exiting the film has not revealed. The plot is being kept under wraps for now, but we do know that Brad Pitt will be returning to his role as Gerry Lane. The original writer, Steve Knight did make an interesting statement in an interview earlier this year. “…I thought, ‘why not? What fun.’ It’s not quite like the other, we’re starting with clean slate.” There is no word if
