The trailer for World War Z, due to be released in June, reveals an Aliens/Hardboiled twist on the classic zombie genre. Brad Pitt’s not just a lone hero fighting off swarms of the undead, he’s a family man, he’s got kids to feed and prevent being fed on.

Hollywood screenwriter Dan O’Bannon has died in an LA hospital following a short illness. He was 63.
