Since the casting was announced earlier this month there has been no official word…

Another Movie Review Pacific Rim

Brad Pitt in World War Z

The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, as early as the 1929 novel The Magic Island by William Seabrook. Time claimed that the book “introduced ‘zombi’ into U.S. speech”.  In 1932, Victor Halperin directed White Zombie, a horror film starring Bela Lugosi.
