\"\"<\/a>Is London about to be overrun with zombies?<\/p>\n

The folks over at Bleeding Cool<\/a> seem to think so as they are reporting from unnamed sources that Paramount’s World War Z is set to film in London and at Pinewood Studios in the fall.<\/p>\n

Not much more information than that is known, but if true, it suggests that Paramount has finally worked out their financial concerns with the project’s $125 million price tag. Two weeks ago<\/a>, the studio was looking for a co-financier to split the cost of production. Last week<\/a>, it looked as if they had found such a partner in David Ellison and his production company Skydance, who was already working with Paramount on their upcoming films Mission: Impossible IV<\/strong> and Top Gun II<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Based on Max Brooks classic novel, World War Z<\/strong> will tell the story of a man trying to piece together exactly how a zombie uprising almost destroyed the war. Brad Pitt is set to star and producer through his company Plan B. Quantum Of Solace<\/strong>‘s Marc Foster is set to direct.<\/p>\n

World War Z is just one of a number of high profile zombie projects in development around Hollywood at the moment. They include a sequel to Zombieland<\/strong>, new installments in the 28 Days Later<\/strong> and Resident Evil<\/strong> franchises,\u00a0 two scripts that were on last year\u2019s Black List \u2013 The Kitchen Sink<\/strong>, which has Jonah Hill attached to direct, and Boy Scouts Vs Zombies<\/strong> \u2013 and Paul Is Undead<\/strong>, a comedy which retells the story of the Beatles as if they were zombies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
