Zombies and spiked eggnog…talk about a perfect f*ckin’ Christmas!

After getting the very pleasant news this week that Bryan Cranston has joined Marc Forster’s epic battle of the undead, WORLD WAR Z, Paramount has given the flick a December 21, 2012 release date. Ho-ho-ho motherf*ckers!

Also featuring Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos (below), Elyes Gabel and James Badge Dale – The end was near. Zombies were taking over. They were infiltrating ever corner the world. No neutral ground existed, no nation was secure, and we were in serious danger of becoming extinct – overrun by hordes of the living dead.

WORLD WAR Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a recounting of these apocalyptic and horrifying years that will make sure we never forget how close we came to total annihilation. Told from the perspective of numerous survivors from all over the world, from Denver to South Africa, Sydney to Yonkers, Malibu to India, WORLD WAR Z captures the sacrifices and, toward the end, the ingenuity of our race to defend and save our cities, towns, and villages from a plague that seemed virtually impossible to stop.

WORLD WAR Z is currently filming in Scotland. Once more, the film will open December 21, 2012.
