"World War Z" Sequel in Works

A sequel to the 2013 Brad Pitt zombie apocalypse movie "World War Z," is in the works after 13 years.

Paramount announced the news at CinemaCon, the annual gathering of movie theater owners that’s currently taking place at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

No further specifics were given for the title.

The company has also been trying to get another “World War Z” movie off the ground for years.

At one point, David Fincher was set to direct with Brad Pitt returning, but the filmmaker exited over budget concerns.

Released in 2013 and based on Max L. Brooks’ book of the same name, “World War Z” grossed $540 million worldwide and was a success despite creative issues during production.

It followed former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt), who, in the wake of a zombie outbreak, ventures around the world trying to find a cure.

The movie famously ditched its action-packed third act in favor of a more intimate finale during reshoots. It scored solid reviews for Pitt's performance and large-scale set pieces, and was a financial hit.
