Brad Pitt has been roped in to star in a new film called "World War Z", an adaptation of a book of the same name by Max Brooks.
In 2007, Brad Pitt's production company Plan B secured rights to the book after a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way, reports contactmusic.com.
"I can't believe how cool Paramount has been to me and these projects and how cool Plan B has been," said Brooks.
The film is slated for release in 2012.
