Matthew Fox and Ed Harris are in negotiations to join the zombie horror adaptation of Max Brooks’ WORLD WAR Z, and would star alongside Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos and James Badge Dale, who are confirmed for the feature. Rewritten for the screen by Matthew Michael Carnahan, the story is a sober telling of the aftermath of a war fought against a legion of humans who were inflicted with a virus, died and were re-animated into flesh-eating zombies. No word yet on potential roles for Fox or Harris.
Pitt will also produce along with Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Colin Wilson and Brad Simpson is set to executive produce.
Fox is repped by WME and Management 360. Harris is repped by CAA.
