Brad Pitt to film 'World War Z' scenes in Cornwall?

Brad Pitt's upcoming zombie drama World War Z may film some scenes in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Paramount Pictures is currently in negotiations with the Falmouth council in order to film boat scenes off the Cornish coast.

Pitt has already filmed scenes in Malta, and may also be travelling to Glasgow for production.

Falmouth town manager Richard Gates told Western Morning News that he is excited about the prospect of the movie being filmed in Cornwall.

"This is a major coup for Falmouth and we're pulling out all the stops to prepare for the influx of crew and cast," he said.

"We've been working closely behind the scenes with Paramount Pictures and are working hard with regards to the necessary planning and permissions."

The film is based on Max Brooks's novel World War Z: An Oral History Of The Zombie War, and revolves around the aftermath of a war between zombies and humans.

Matthew Fox and Ed Harris were previously attached to the project, but have since dropped out. The film is expected to be released in 2012.
