World War Z author Max Brooks reportedly told MTV News at Comic-Con in San Diego on Wednesday that Brad is attached to star in the film adaptation of his book.

“I can’t believe how cool Paramount has been to me and these projects, and how cool Plan B has been,” he told MTV News.
In 2007, Plan B, Brad's production company, obtained the rights to World War Z. Brooks said Paramount is hoping for a 2010 summer release with Marc Forster directing.
