Oscar nominated writer Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things) has been tapped to write World War Z 2 for Paramount. Read on for more details.
Variety is reporting, Oscar-nominated scribe Steven Knight has been tapped to write Paramount and Skydance’s sequel to “World War Z.”
J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”) will direct the zombie sequel, with Brad Pitt returning in the starring role. Plot details are being kept closely under wraps at this time.
