Although World War Z has been filming already for quite some time, we have news of a late casting addition. According to Deadline, David Morse, who you'll probably recognize from The Green Mile, Contact, The Rock, and numerous other films and TV shows, is now playing the role of a "prisoner living in an abandoned jail".
Based on the Max Brooks novel of the same name, World War Z is directed by Marc Forster and stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Matthew Fox, and James Badge. Paramount has scheduled World War Z for a holiday release on December 21st, 2012.
“World War Z tells the story of the world’s desperate battle against the zombie threat with a series of first-person accounts ‘as told to the author’ by various characters around the world. A Chinese doctor encounters one of the earliest zombie cases at a time when the Chinese government is ruthlessly suppressing any information about the outbreak that will soon spread across the globe. The tale then follows the outbreak via testimony of smugglers, intelligence officials, military personnel and many others who struggle to defeat the zombie menace.”
