According to The Hollywood Reporter the multi-Emmy award winning actor is in talks to join Brad Pitt and company in the upcoming adaptation of Max Brook’s WORLD WAR Z! While not much is known about the role he would be playing, it’s described as ‘small but flashy’.
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.
If Cranston (above) was to sign on, he’d be joining Pitt, Mireille Enos (below), Elyes Gabel and James Badge Dale in the Marc Forster film. Currently filming in Scotland with a 2012 release date tapped, WORLD WAR Z is sure to offer a lot more updates in the coming weeks so be sure to check back soon for those!
