World War Z was one of this past summer's biggest surprises, not only was it a worldwide box office sensation, but it had to overcome some significantly bad press concerning its production in order to get there. Of course, in Hollywood success breeds sequel speculation, and if you want to get the latest information on a subject, you go to the source, like a movie's actor and producer.
Variety caught up with Brad Pitt at the Toronto International Film Festival, at which Pitt is promoting the award-baiting 12 Years a Slave. When asked about World War Z and a World War Z sequel he seemed very optimistic. "We have so many ideas on the table from the time we spent just developing this thing and figuring out how the zombie worlds work," Pitt explained. "We have so many ideas and so much information - we think we have a lot of stuff to mine from."
But Pitt was careful to add, "We gotta get the script right to determine if we go further... We'll wait and see how the script turns out, but yes, I'd love to come back."
Considering that the first film had to go back into production after the third act was totally re-written, it's probably a smart movie for Pitt to focus on getting the script solid first.
What do you Bastards think? Wanna see a sequel to WWZ?
