Brad Pitt's production co. have snapped up the big screen rights for World War z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. They snapped them up via Paramount Pictures in an apparently fierce contest with Leonardo DiCaprio's production co. who were also keen on the rights. The book by Max Brook's, that hasn't evene been published yet, 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 reanimated into flesh-eating zombies. Can't help thinking that Brad is missing the boat on the whole Zombie thing, isn't that like last year?
