'World War Z': Set Footage Shows Zombie Rampage In Brad Pitt Film (VIDEO)

Brad Pitt saved an extra from a raging stampede on the set of his zombie apocalypse film, "World War Z," a few weeks back. He couldn't do the same for a guy caught up in the madness of this latest brouhaha, but then, it seems that that was all by design.

Filming continues on the Pitt-starring big screen adaptation of the zombie outbreak book, and in this latest fan/paparazzi-shot video, we get a good look at some of the madness that's being wrought on Glasgow. A herd of undead plow through the streets -- which are being used as a stand-in for Philadelphia -- and one unlucky actor gets torn from his car and given a bite by a zombie. After some struggles, the actor just absolutely flips out as he transforms to a blood-thirsty, thoughtless man-beast... until the director calls cut. Then, it's back to human.

It's a fun little peak at the intersection of our real and fantasy worlds, and a good look at what the film has in store for its 2012 release.

Check out the video below, as well as a number of other scenes caught from the set.

Running zombies. This movie completey deviates from the great book that is World War Z. It's sad that they didn't have the courage to make an actual movie based on the book.

"It's a fun little peak at the intersection of our real and fantasy worlds..." Hey, HuffPost: It's spelled "peek", not "peak".

All the scenes with large groups of zombies are actually just footage of a tea-bagger rally.

Take J Ass with you when you go . . . no doubt she's got a teather tied to the ankle of at least one of your kids, so it would be impossible for your whole circus to move without it's finest clown.

Whaat am I talkiing about? You're a boat load of clowns . . .

Seriously, you're circus has been on the road so long . . . the ick factor has set in cement.

Enough.

You and your clan need to hide out and not be heard from for the next decade.

idle minds must really enjoy garbage like this.

If you are going to say something like that then please enlighten us with some alternatives that meet your obviously high criteria for entertainment. Shall we all throw away our zombie films and start reading Dostoevsky?

anything would rate as high compared to this gruel. But, whatever floats yer boat.

Wow, that's rather sweeping and rude. My favourite programs range from Nature to documentaries to 80's Italian zombie flicks. Some folks like a bit of fantastical escapism to go WITH the rest of the things they like. I guess you're strictly business and above all that nonsense?

[jwb2013]

where do I indicate that I included nature and docs? yes, escapism is legit...and understandable given the many ways we are made slaves into the system here in the usa. i am an artist, not a business person, and I AM above that nonsense portrayed in such garbage as zombie flics...but, what is truly entertaining, is how, when I share my views, that others take them personally...now, THAT is real nonsense! ha!

I know. It's always om nom nom with them and you might as well try talking to a wall.

I'm not much into the Zombie movies but, I'll give it a try only because of Brad Pitt.. I do hope I am not disappointed and like someone else said here, I hate to see them hype this movie up so much that by the time we do get to see the movie it could turn into a big let down, it usually is especially if there is a book involved, It's hard to beat a really good book.. But ya, I'll go see Brad!!!!

I finally saw the last part of Night of The Living Dead after years of somehow missing the last 30 min. I was horrid and great all at the same time. Invasion of Body Snatcher's is my fav; the orig and the remake. I still get surprissed by #2's ending.

Generally speaking, the more hype coming out of the studio during the making of a film the more the studio suspects a total bomb.

Are these GOP zombies? Is Cheney one of them?

[alicetilden]

I understand that Cheney's heart doesn't actually beat. He could be one. Hmmmm

I love horror movies. Horror might be my favourite film genre actually. That being said I'm just about done with zombie films.
