World War Z with Brad Pitt?

From Slash Film:

The film adaptation of World War Z has had a drawn out development history, but even still, it always looked like it would eventually happen.

Now, breaking news from San Diego Comic-Con further supports the idea that we’ll soon see this movie in theaters. MTV has just reported from the show floor of Comic-Con that World War Z is officially moving forward with Brad Pitt attached to star. The news comes from World War Z author Max Brooks, who says that the film is currently slated for a summer 2012 release. Marc Forster is still supposed to direct.

This is mostly interesting to me because this movie is so damn late to the show. We've already seen the zombie craze fly and die last year, and everybody and their dog is making a vampire movie (Still trying to keep up with Twilight's success). I'm not sure how well it's going to it with major audiences after the market has been so flooded, so recently with zombie flicks.

On the other hand, Brad Pitt is in it, which means I'll still see it in the theater.
