Deadline are reporting that ‘Drive Angry 3D’ star David Morse is set to join the cast of ‘World War Z’. The movie, based on the novel by Max Brooks, is currently shooting under the watchful eye of helmer Marc Forster. Morse (below), whose previous credits include ‘The Green Mile’, ‘The Hurt Locker’ and ‘Disturbia’, will star as a survivor of the zombie apocalypse who is living in a prison. Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Julia Levy-Boeken and Bryan Cranston (‘Breaking Bad’) all co-star.
“The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.”
‘World War Z’ opens across the US on 21 December 2012.
