Jan. 31, 2013 | 5:20 p.m. The zombie apocalypse is on its way. Weve lost the East Coast. Chinas dark. Indeed, things dont look promising for the human race in the new teaser trailer for the Super Bowl spot for Paramounts Brad Pitt zombie movie, World War Z, the Marc Forster-directed adaptation of Max Brooks acclaimed novel. Its the first footage from the movie since the release of a gripping first trailer for the film debuted in November. That clip played like a taut thriller tapping into modern fears about the fall of mankind. World War Z stars Pitt as Gerry Lane, a United Nations fact-finder and family man who desperately races around the globe to determine the origins of a zombie pandemic that has toppled civilization in short order. Mireille Enos , of late of The Killing, plays his wife. Forster was an interesting choice to direct; he boasts an eclectic resume that includes acclaimed dramas, popcorn fare and at least one quirky comedy hes made movies such as Monsters Ball, Findi...

Whenever there is a media event in New Orleans, reporters trek to the Lower Ninth Ward where the worst damage from Hurricane Katrina occurred seven years ago. The usual story angle is: The place is still a terrible mess. And it is. But there have been some definite changes - some in surprising directions. First, the devastation is still obvious. The Ninth Ward is a low-lying area that held the water like a bathtub. When the levee holding the Industrial Canal was breached, the water not only rushed in - it stayed there for months. Even after the water receded, the entire landscape was just covered in gray mud. Everything, from trees to cars to homes, was coated in mud. A transplanted Bay Area resident said it reminded her of the remains of the 1991 Oakland hills fire, a flattened, bleak landscape that looked as if it could never recover. But houses are coming back, along with a few low shrubs. Along with them are some new structures that the Times-Picayune called "architecturally ...

An insider told the new UK issue of Grazia magazine: "Brad has asked those closest to him to make sure they're free the week after the Cannes Film Festival finishes on 26 May. "Brad will be in Cannes with Angelina and the kids to promote 'World War Z'. He has also blocked out a couple of weeks in his work schedule afterwards, which has made his friends even more certain." Brad, 49, and his 37-year-old fiancee are currently renovating their 35 million Chateau Miraval mansion in the South of France and all signs are pointing towards them using the home for their wedding and reception. A local source said: "Everything is pointing to the end of May or begging of June. Their renovations are due to finish any day now and builders have been working around the clock to complete in time. "Plus all of Brad and Angelina's closest friends in the industry will be in town for Cannes." An assistant for Angelina - who was previously married to British acto...

WENN Jennifer Aniston may be happily planning her upcoming wedding to Justin Theroux, but that doesn't mean she can escape the latest rumours surrounding her and her ex-husband Brad Pitt. According to supposed "inside sources" at Star , Jennifer Aniston is apparently seeing a therapist in a bid to cure her of her "obsession" with Brad Pitt, as it is "killing her softly. Shes gone back into one-on-one counseling she really wants to dig the old skeletons out of her closet so she can be emotionally unburdened before she walks down the aisle with Justin. Jen realises that its high time she let go of her unhealthy attachment to Brad." So what does this obsession with Brad supposedly entail? From time to time, she even pulls out a box of mementos shes kept - love letters, her handwritten wedding vows, pictures from their romantic vacations abroad, even one of Brads old, ratty T-shirts that she claims still has his smell on it. Right. Obviously these rumours...

Brad and Angelina via Shutterstock Turns out Brangelina's gaggle of children might have even more interesting eating habits than the occasional trip to the McDonald's drive-thru.

Ivan Nikolov/WENN Brad Pitt could be set to take on a role as one of the most controversial figures in biblical history as he's reportedly circling the title role in Warner Bros' 'Pontius Pilate'. According to Deadline.com , the rumoured Mr Angelina Jolie is set to star as the roman soldier who brought about Jesus' demise. Warner bought a script by Woman On Top writer Vera Blasi, and although Pitt is not committed to the role, according to the site that is set to change very quickly. If Pitt does join the film he'll be joining the current Hollywood fashion for Biblical epics, with Russell Crowe and Emma Watson set to star in Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' and Aronofsky reportedly teaming up with Steven Spielberg and Will Smith to make a 'Cain and Abel' movie, although like 'Pilate' that is not yet in production. Of the movie, Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr says: "Rather than a straight-ahead biblical film, Blasi's script reads alm...

9th January, 2013 Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt made waves on Monday with his first post on Chinese social media, a cryptic message suggesting he would soon visit the country. It is the truth. Yup, Im coming, said the initial entry on the stars verified account on Sina Weibo, one of Chinas hugely popular Twitter-like microblogs. It was unclear if the message from the star of Fight Club, Spy Game, Oceans Eleven and other films meant that he would be physically coming to China. Various Internet movie sites say Pitt was banned from entering the country after starring in Seven Years in Tibet. In 1997, the state-run China Daily said that Hollywood would never be forgiven for a series of films on the region, specifically citing Pitts movie, along with Richard Geres Red Corner and Kundun, directed by Martin Scorsese. China has long waged a campaign against Tibets exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, whom Beijing accuses of seeking independence for the troubled region, and the paper said ...

As revealed last autumn , Warners are planning to add to the recent spate of proposed Biblical epics with its own yarn based around Roman prefect Pontius Pilate . Deadline now reveals that Brad Pitt is circling the lead role . Reports that it's because he wants to wash his hands of World War Z remain unverified. The familiar version of Pilate is more or less the one played - rather well - by Hristo Shopov in Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ , and by David Bowie in Scorsese's Last Temptation ( although perhaps you prefer Telly Savalas in The Greatest Story Ever Told ). He's the politician that orders Jesus' crucifixion, securing himself a role as one of history's greatest villains. There's plenty more to his story than that though, and the idea of the character's younger years as a ferocious military badass under the rule of Emperor Tiberius, might perhaps explain the attraction to the historically, epically-inclined Brad Pitt of Wolfgang Petersen...

All the ladies who make up Sina Weibos 400 million registered users take note: Brad Pitt has just joined Weibo.

Although lots of celebrities from around the globe have joined Sina Weibo - mostly for social marketing purposes, Brad Pitt is perhaps the most controversial of all these. No, not because of his very awkward and stagey new ad for Chanel , but due to the fact that Brad Pitt is supposedly banned from ever entering China after his starring role in the 1997 movie Seven Years in Tibet , which was deemed by authorities in Beijing to have been too sympathetic to the exiled Dalai Lama. Its not clear why Pitt has joine! d Weibo at this specific time. Its most likely driven by marketing concer...
