10 Awesome Blockbusters Coming This Summer (That Aren’t Sequels)

By Alex Leadbeater /

3. World War Z

Released On: 21st June (UK and US) What€™s It About: Based on the popular novel, varying quality filmmaker Marc Forster's film follows Brad Pitt€™s UN employee and family man, searching for a solution to a zombie outbreak. Rather than ditching the book€™s anecdotal collection narrative, it seems that Pitt€™s journey is a portal to opening up the global populaces view on the tragedy. Expect a lot of running zombie action, which will delight audiences and anger traditionalists. Why It€™ll Be Awesome: He's starred in some of the biggest movies of the past twenty years, working with Tarantino, Soderberg, Gilliam, and Fincher, but World War Z might just be Brad Pitt€™s first bona fide blockbuster. Forster€™s action films in the past have been lacklustre, but World War Z promises to be more personal than its trailer initially suggested, creating similarities more with his Oscar noticed Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner than the dire Quantum Of Solace. It€™s rare we get a global zombie movie, but this human approach seems to be the way to do it.
