Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 5:22PM Matthew Fox & Ed Harris Next on Deck for Brad Pitt's 'World War Z'?
Marc Forster's epic zombie movie World War Z starring Brad Pitt is on a mission to add more supporting actors to the fold. According to Deadline, Lost star Matthew Fox and one of the baddest senior citizens on the planet in Ed Harris are the latest stars currently in negotiations for the film adaptation of Max Brook's larger than life novel.
The expected parts for Fox, Harris and recently added French actress Julie Levy-Boeken are unspecified for now. Pitt is the only actor on the film's IMDB page with a character name attached, as the lead Max Brooks. World War Z refers to the 10 year anniversary that humans won the war against worldwide zombie epidemic, and Brooks travels the globe collecting stories and interviewing survivors of that war. Mireille Enos (The Killing) is rumored to play Brooks' wife in the movie (a character not in the book) though nothing is official on that front.
I could care less about Fox joining this movie, and yes it's because I'm still bitter about the weak ass ending to Lost. The addition of Harris, however will prove to be a boon to the success of World War Z. Harris has made a career of turning in solid performances (The Abyss, Appaloosa, Enemy at the Gates, etc.) and always plays the tough old guy full of wisdom that nobody messses with. He's one of those glue guys, I've mentioned in past posts that every good movie needs.
Now I can add World War Z to my list of future movies to closely follow developments on, along with Elysium and The Dark Knight Rises.
