BRAD PITT ZOMBIE MOVIE TO BE FILMED IN FALMOUTH
Brad Pitt is coming to Falmouth, Cornwall in August to shoot scenes for his new film World War Z – and you could star alongside him as the producers are looking for local zombies to star alongside him.
The 47-year-old Hollywood star, currently working in Malta on the post-apocalyptic zombie film, call World War Z was recently visited on set by his partner Angelina Jolie and their six children. Filming is due to take place off the coast of Falmouth from 2nd – 14th August and discussions between the local council and Paramount Pictures are said to be very much underway. Thousands of visitors are expected to visit the area if used as the setting for one of next year’s big Hollywood blockbusters – especially if Angelina and the couple’s brood are also in town. The filming will be taking place during the already very busy Henry Lloyd Falmouth Week.
Speaking to the Western Morning News, Falmouth’s Town Manager Richard Gates said he has been helping to work out logistics with the film studio. ‘This is a major coup for Falmouth and we’re pulling out all the stops to prepare for the influx of crew and cast,’ he said. ‘We’ve been working closely behind the scenes with Paramount Pictures and are working hard with regards to the necessary planning and permissions.’
Local councillors are hoping the filming will help to boost the town’s profile and economy. There is already said to be an ‘almighty buzz’ in the town as cameras are set to begin rolling during the annual sailing event held in the town at the beginning of August. To add to the excitement in the town, Paramount is to hold open casting sessions this weekend at a local school for extras in the film.
Pitt will also be shooting scenes for the zombie film in Glasgow later this year. In the film, based Max Brooks’ 2006 novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, Pitt plays a worker at the United Nations Post-war Commission, collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived a zombie attack.
