The 2013 zombie thriller "World War Z" is set to have a sequel, which will be directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, also known as J.A. Bayona, and is set to be released in October 2016.
Bayona is currently filming "A Monster Calls" starring Liam Neeson opposite Felicity Jones and Toby Kebbell.
Based on the characters created by Max Brooks, the "World War Z" sequel script will be written by "Redemption" director Steven Knight.
According to Knight, the sequel is not quite like the original 2013 film, which starred Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kestesz and Matthew Fox, among others.
"We're starting with clean slate. When they've signed off we're on," Knight told Indie Wire.
It is yet to be confirmed whether Pitt will reprise his role in the sequel. The last film he was in was the 2014 war film "Fury."
The character he played in "Fury" and the one Shia LaBeouf played were said to be a gay couple.
While not directly shown, some critics point out that the World War II film that recently topped the weekend box office implied homosexuality as War Daddy (Pitt) and Bible (LaBeouf) seemed to be more than just friends.
One of the critics who took to Twitter to explain this claim is Matt Patches.
"Scenes in Fury make me believe Shia and Brad Pitt's characters are romantically involved. Direction, performance, theme -- seems implied," Patches wrote.
It is not uncommon for action movies populated by alpha males to have an element of implied homosexuality, as Cinema Blend noted.
"Fury" director David Ayer recently addressed the alleged implied homosexuality in the box-office hit movie saying, "It's interesting. It's funny."
