Brad Pitt Returning for ‘World War Z’ Sequel With Edward Berger Directing
Paramount is moving forward with a long-awaited World War Z sequel, with Brad Pitt set to return and Edward Berger attached to direct.
Variety reports that Berger, whose recent credits include Conclave and All Quiet on the Western Front, will direct from a screenplay by Dennis Kelly. Pitt will also produce alongside Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner through Plan B, with Berger serving as an executive producer.
Plot details are currently being kept under wraps. The project marks another collaboration between Pitt and Berger after the pair worked together on A24's The Riders.
