Brad Pitt is set to take on zombies in the big screen adaptation of cult apocalypse comic book World War Z.

The superstar has just been confirmed as the lead in the eagerly-awaited film, in the first big news from San Diego’s huge fantasy and sci-fi convention, Comic Con.

Pitt’s production company Plan B secured the rights to the material in 2007 after a biding war with Leonardo DiCaprio’s outfit Appian Way.

Now the comic book’s author Max Brooks has revealed that not only is the project finally moving forward but that Pitt himself will star in it.

The story chronicles a worldwide zombie outbreak through the first-hand accounts of survivors.

It will be directed by Quantum of Solace helmsman Marc Foster and is set to be one of the blockbusters of 2012, with a summer release date, Brooks told MTV.com.

Paramount studios have also optioned the movie rights to two more of his projects, The Zombie Survival Guide and The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks graphic novel.

“I can’t believe how cool Paramount has been to me and these projects, and how cool Plan B has been,” Brooks said when asked for his reaction to the news.

Pitt is currently filming drama Moneyball.
