Apocalyptic new World War Z poster

Brad Pitt surveys the wreckage of the zombie apocalypse... grim business

Brad Pitt surveys the devastation caused by a massive zombie apocalypse in this epic new poster for ‘World War Z’.

Looking down on a world ablaze from the back of a plane, it's setting the bleak tone for Bond director Marc Foster's long-anticipated adaptation of Max Brooks' 2006 book.

Pitt is playing Gerry Lane in the film, a UN man tasked with interviewing survivors of the zombie outbreak in order to find a way of stopping the catastrophic pandemic.

'The Killing' star Mireille Enos plays his wife Karin, while James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox and Bryan Cranston also feature.

A new trailer for the film dropped last week, each upping the stakes for what should be one of the film events of the summer.

It's due out on June 21.
