Paramount Pictures is making the effort to begin a viral campaign with a public service announcement warning of the zombie epidemic known as Crisis Zero.
The former director of the Global Health Agency speaks about the rather serious trouble that is rushing across the planet, sparking violence and horror wherever it goes.
We see footage of violent attacks in Indonesia, eerily empty India villages and general mayhem – no mention of the ‘Z' word though.
Directed by German filmmaker Marc Forster, the screenplay was written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and revised by Damon Lindelof, based on Max Brooks' beststelling zombie novel ‘World War Z'.
Action thriller stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox and David Morse.
Paramount will release the film in theaters on June 21st, 2013.
Check out the video for the World War Z viral campaign for Crisis Zero:
And here's the website, which appears to be a United Kingdom centric viral campaign.
United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt) 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.
