The Echo reports that :
A-LIST actor Brad Pitt is expected to arrive in the Billericay area on bank holiday Monday to shoot scenes for a forthcoming film.
It is thought the star of films such as Fight Club and Legends of the Fall will travel to Essex to shoot scenes for post-apocalyptic zombie movie World War Z.
World War Z is going to be a major film – and will probably encourage a trickle of tourists to visit Billericay to see where some of it was shot.
It’s based on the book “World War Z“ , which has been described as a combination of horror, drama, and sociopolitical commentary. It’s written as a collection of interviews with survivors and important figures telling the story of a Zombie war that nearly causes the extinction of mankind…. It’s pretty bleak. In the book, British supreme command is relocated to Scotland. Conwy in North Wales served as the base of the reclamation of Great Britain. The defence of Caerphilly Castle in South Wales is also mentioned. The Queen is pretty heroic.
“Two hundred million zombies. Who can even visualize that type of number, let alone combat it?… For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They had no limits of endurance. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, unlike us, every single one of them, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth. That’s the enemy that waited for us beyond the Rockies. That’s the kind of war we had to fight.”
You may think it’s rubbish, but it’s going to be a BIG film nonetheless.
I wonder just what “Billericay area” means.
Was that ww2 tank being transported to Hullbridge a few months ago just a coincidence?
