Pitt to take on 'World War Z' role

Brad Pitt is to star in ‘World War Z’. The 46-year-old actor has been confirmed by the author of the original book, Max Brooks, to be taking a starring role in the project.

It has long been rumoured Brad would take part in the film – in 2007 his production company Plan B secured rights to the book after a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way.
