Get A Sneak Peek At World War Z Before Super Bowl Sunday

If you're an ultimate zombie fan, there's probably one event you're more into than this weekend's Super Bowl— The Sneak Peek Trailer for the upcoming zombie apocalypse movie, World War Z.

Well I have a little present for you— an advanced sneak peek.

The movie, starring Brad Pitt, is of course an adaptation of the book of the same name, written by Max Brooks, about a U.N. worker (Pitt) who travels the world trying to find the cause of the zombie outbreak and how to stop it before the world get completely zombified.

Pitts Plan B Entertainment secured the rights and had Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Strazynski write the original screenplay— which everyone loved, even fans who saw a leaked copy. Then for some reason the script was shelved and writer Matthew Carnahan was brought onboard to rewrite.

The project went into a period of starts and stalls, and at one point needed some extra financing— zombie fans were getting nervous at this point. Finally in July, with a budget reported at around $125 million, the movie began filming— At $125 million this is the most expensive zombie movie ever filmed.

Will it be worth it? I guess well all find out in June when the movie hits theaters.

What do you think— Will World War Z die or live on to be a hit? Let us know what you think.
