Looks like the popularity for Zombieland is helping out other zombie projects. According to Slice of Scifi(not SyFy) the script for World War Z by Max Brooks is out of script limbo and is currently in re-wrights.
The rights to World War Z was bought by Plan B Entertainment (Brad Pitt’s production company) and Marc Forster(Quantum of Solace) has been signed as the Director. The initial script was written by J. Michael Straczynski(creator of Babylon 5).
Wow! The production company of “Troy” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, Director of “Quantum of Solace” and the writer of “Babylon 5”. I can’t wait to see this one in a few years
