The trailer itself will get your heart racing for the 2013 summer thriller starring Brad Pitt.

"World War Z" is the latest film from Paramount Pictures that will be released in June of next year, starring Brad Pitt who helps fight off a zombie apocalypse

Marc Forster directed the film, which is an adaptation of Max Brooks' acclaimed zombie novel.

Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, a United Nations fact-finder and family man who races around the world to determine the origins of a zombie pandemic overthrowing the nation and causing vast amounts of chaos and destruction, according to The Los Angeles Times. Actress Mireille Enos, from "The Killing," stars as his wife.

Lane struggle to help the government fight the zombies comes in conflict sometimes with his desire to be with his family and protect them more than anything else. The trailer clip ends with Lane telling his wife over the phone, "Tell the kids I'm coming back. Just know, I'm coming back."

Foster is no stranger to directing thrillers. He was the visionary behind "Monster's Ball," "The Kite Runner," "Finding Neverland" and "Quantum of Solace."

In their description of the film, The LA Times stated that the film's trailer "suggests the film has taken shape as a fast-paced action adventure with the geographical scope of a Bond movie."

"And some zombies that move much more quickly than their undead counterparts on 'The Walking Dead.' Think '28 Days Later' rather than George Romero," the report added.

Pitt has three other films also in post-production like "World War Z" expected to come out in 2013: "Voyage of Time," "Twelve Years a Slave" and "The Counselor." His last film was 2012's "Killing Them Softly," where he played the lead as Jackie Cogan, a professional enforcer who investigates a heist that went bad. The film comes out Nov. 30.
