With production set to begin this month, Marc Forster’s adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z continues to fill out its cast.  Bloody Disgusting reports that Matthew Fox is now on board while Deadline adds that Ed Harris is in talks to join him.  The zombie-action flick also stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos (The Killing), Anthony Mackie, Julia Levy-Boeken, and James Badge Dale.  BD reports that Fox will play “Parajumper” while Harris role is currently unknown.  The book takes place ten years after a zombie apocalypse but since Paramount sees the property as a tentpole, it will be repurposed into a PG-13 action movie.

Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.  Fox is also attached to play the villain in Rob Cohen’s adaptation of I, Alex Cross starring Tyler Perry.  Harris is playing John McCain in Game Change and he’s attached to co-star with Aaron Eckhart in Neil Labute’s The Geography of Hope.
