A year ago, it looked unlikely that World War Z would get made.  The adaptation of author Max Brooks's fictitious oral history of a nearly-apocalyptic global zombie infestation was stuck in development with a price tag big enough that Paramount Picture wasn't willing to roll the dice, even with bestselling source material, Brad Pitt attached to star and produce, and Marc Forster set to direct.  Now, with the film in post-production for a release in December of this year, it looks like Paramount is keen on turning the film it almost didn't make into a franchise, with the World War Z story spanning three films.

Patrick Lussier’s latest directorial task will feature the ultra versatile (you see what I did there) Nicolas Cage, as he tracks down the men who murdered his daughter in the upcoming Drive Angry 3D.

The film is scheduled for release on February 11, 2011, and if nothing else looks to promise butt loads of action.

The script was written by Lussier and Todd Farmer, and stars Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, Katy Mixon, William Fichtner and David Morse.

Check out the full plot details for Drive Angry 3D followed by the film’s promotional poster and a brand new trailer below.

The cast for Nick Cassevetes' latest drama is quite an impressive one, as revealed by ComingSoon.net. Sienna Miller, Lucy Punch, Ben Foster, Melanie Griffith, Gena Rowlands, David Morse, Luke Wilson, Hank Azaria and Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough have all joined Yellow, Cassevetes' first film since last year's My Sister's Keeper (which starred Cameron Diaz).

Synopsis: DRIVE ANGRY stars Nicolas Cage as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out of hell for one last chance at redemption. Intent on stopping a vicious cult who murdered his daughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice her baby beneath a full moon.

He’s joined by Piper (Amber Heard) – a young, sexy waitress who liberates her ex-boyfriend’s cherry-red muscle car in order to help Milton. Now, the two of them are hot on the trail of the deadly leader of the cult, Jonah King (Billy Burke), who believes it is his destiny to use the baby to unleash hell on earth.

But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton’s problems. The police are after him too. And worse, an enigmatic killer known only as “The Accountant” – who has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to hell. With wicked cunning and hypnotic savagery, the Accountant will relentlessly pursue Milton at high speed across the country until his mission is accomplished.

Fueled by high octane and pure rage, Milton must use his anger to go beyond all human limits to avenge his daughter’s murder, before his last chance at redemption is revoked.
