Brad Saves Woman on Set of World War Z

If there's one man you'd want alongside you during a zombie apocalypse it's clearly Brad Pitt, given that the actor managed to save a women from being trampled on the set of World War Z.  The Scottish Sun newspaper said Pitt and a large group of extras were running through Glasgow's George Square to escape oncoming zombies when the woman fell.  To stop her being trampled Pitt rushed over and carried her out of danger.

"It was total chaos as 700 extras were trying to get down the street. They were banging into moving cars, cameras and military who were carrying heavy machine guns," someone on set told The Scottish Sun.
"Brad didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee." The newspaper reported that Pitt's quick thinking stopped a serious injury from happening on set.

There has been a rash of injuries on the chaotic set, but thanks to Pitt's bravery and quick reaction time, a tragedy was avoided. And the show kept on going. Will we see that footage in the final cut of World War Z? Or maybe Pitt's heroics will make a DVD extra. Either way, we'll have to wait until late 2012/early 2013 to find out.


The film is an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel, with adjustment made for timing and flow; the book itself is a telling of a number of survivors' experience, while the film puts the action right during that zombie apocalypse. Mireille Enos, Emmy-nominated star of "The Killing," plays Pitt's wife in the film.

Here's the synopsis below:
The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself.
