Brad Pitt to film in Falmouth

Brad Pitt will be filming his latest blockbuster in Falmouth next month... and they want you!

The Hollywood heartthrob will be filming scenes for World War Z between the 2nd and 14th August.

Based on a novel by Max Brooks and set in the future after a war against Zombies, hence the title; the film is set to be released next year. 

Filming has already taken place in Malta. It's believed the Falmouth scenes will be onboard a ship.

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

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

"With Henri Lloyd Falmouth Week taking place at the same time, there is going to be an almighty buzz."

If you'd like the chance to be part of the film, the makers will be holding open castings in Truro School this weekend. All you have to do is head down to the school between 10am and 5pm. You must also be over 18.
