Although he won an Oscar for his work in the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, many still remember his 2013 zombie thriller. Just after Halloween, World War Z will be available on a new streaming service.
Starting November 1st, you can watch World War Z for free on Pluto TV. The movie was a box office success, earning $540 million globally despite a production budget between $190 and $269 million. It currently has a 67% rating from critics and a 72% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Brad Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a former UN investigator who finds himself stuck in a Philadelphia traffic jam – which quickly turns out to be caused by a full-blown zombie apocalypse.
A dangerous virus is causing a zombie outbreak, and just one bite can turn someone into a zombie, putting all of humanity at risk. Gerry steps up to use his skills at the U.N. to find a cure. Peter Capaldi, known from Doctor Who, plays a doctor with the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) in the film World War Z. The movie also features Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, James Badge Dale, David Morse, and Matthew Fox.
Marc Forster, known for directing films like The Kite Runner, Finding Neverland, and Monster’s Ball, also directed World War Z. The movie is adapted from Max Brooks’ 2006 novel of the same name, and the screenplay was a collaborative effort by Drew Goddard (High Potential, The Martian), Matthew Michael Carnahan (21 Bridges), Damon Lindelof (Lost), and J.

What Happened to the World War Z Sequel?
A sequel to the 2013 film World War Z was planned, intended to be the first of three movies, but it was ultimately canceled in 2019. Filming was initially scheduled to begin in March 2019 in locations like Atlanta, Spain, and Thailand. Despite having Brad Pitt and a director on board, the project faced delays and was eventually scrapped. Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the sequel, decided to prioritize other large-scale films, such as the Mission: Impossible series. Brad Pitt was set to return as Gerry Lane, and Mireille Enos would likely have reprised her role as his wife. The rest of the cast for the canceled sequel remains unknown.
Details about a potential sequel were hard to come by. The first film, World War Z, ended with a vaccine being created, suggesting the world would begin to recover. Gerry Lane reunited with his family, and efforts to eliminate the zombies were progressing. A sequel could have explored the aftermath of the vaccine’s development, but it seems unlikely one will ever be made.
World War Z is streaming on Pluto TV.
