Given all of the problems that plagued the World War Z shoot, it’s a wonder that the movie turned out any kind of good. With the sequel on the horizon, we have some new details for you.

IndieWire caught up with the sequel’s screenwriter, Steven Knight, who dropped a rather interesting statement on the site.

“I thought, ‘why not? What fun.’ said Knight on his decision to take a crack at the script. “It’s not quite like the other; we’re starting with clean slate. When they’ve signed off [Paramount and Plan B], we’re on.”

So would clean slate indicate that we’re telling another story somewhere else? Will Pitt’s character return. Guess we’ll find out soon enough as the article also states that filming is set to commence this coming October. Stay tuned.
