Pitt to team up with director Marc Forster

Hollyweird scuttlebutt has reports that Brad Pitt will team with Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland director Marc Forster, to star in an adaptation from Max Brooks 2006 novel Wolrd War Z.

In the film, Pitt will play a journalist documenting the aftermath of a bloody zombie-human war that took place a decade earlier. It's a bit of a departure from Max Brooks' hit book, which Pitt optioned three years ago; in the novel, the main character is an investigator for the UN trying to find out the history and back story to the dilemma. At this time Pitt is starring in Cogan's Trade ( more on this later )

The film is looking for a 2014 release date and won't get shooting for a year or two.
