What is attached
Pitt is set to reprise Gerry Lane and produce through Plan B. Berger is attached to direct and Dennis Kelly to write, reviving a sequel effort that has stalled in earlier forms.
Why this version is different
Berger recently worked with Pitt on The Riders. The new package is separate from an earlier sequel plan associated with David Fincher that did not reach production.
The flip side
An attached star, director and writer make this more than a rumor, but they do not equal a finished green-light timetable. No shoot date, release date, plot or supporting cast has been announced.
Update note: Source-read briefing identifies the attached creative team while distinguishing renewed development from a dated production commitment.
Original headline: Brad Pitt returns for World War Z sequel
