3 For Z; Could Take Trek 2 Spot

Matthew Fox, Ed Harris and French actress Julia Levy-Boeken are in talks to join Marc Forster's  "World War Z" says Deadline.



Based on the Max Brooks' created comic book Set a decade after a virus has turned much of the planet's population into zombies, the story follows a journalist interviewing subjects from around the world about their experiences during the 'zombie war'.The book fuses elements of political satire, war and survival horror as it explores how various nations, governments and individuals respond to the crisis.

Mireille Enos, star of the hit TV series The Killing, is gonna play Karin Lane, the wife of Brad Pitt in the film adaptation Anthony Mackie and The Pacific's James Badge Dale also star.

Matthew Michael Carnahan, brother of director Joe Carnahan, performed a rewrite on the script.

'World' begins production this month after a long period in which budget issues stalled things for a long period. With the studio needing to fill a void when "Star Trek 2" warps out of its June 2012 date--Z might do just that.
