“World War Z” is currently the most popular movie on Hulu, according to the platform’s public ranking system.
The thriller, an adaptation of Max Brooks’ novel, stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator who travels the world in search of a solution to a sudden zombie apocalypse.
The movie also stars Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox, Fana Mokoena, David Morse, Daniella Kertesz, Sterling Jerins, Abigail Hargrove, Peter Capaldi, Pierfrancesco Favino, Ruth Negga, Moritz Bleibtreu and Ludi Boeken.
Released in 2013, “World War Z” was a $540 million global box-office success, becoming the highest-grossing zombie film of all time — and also Pitt’s highest-grossing film of all time until this summer’s “F1.” Plans for a sequel were announced that same year, but were mostly stalled until the new Paramount CEO, David Ellison, dropped a hint last month.
