There has been a lot of unwanted action on the set of Brad Pitt’s new movie World War Z. Last month Pitt had to rescue an extra who almost got trampled by zombies, and this weekend an anti-terroist unit raided the movie’s warehouse and confiscated more than 85 weapons.

And this isn’t just some crazy mishap where authorities thought the movie props were real guns. No, the guns that were confiscated by the Hungarian anti-terrorism unit were fully functional. The Huffington Post notes that some were even loaded.

Hajdu Janos, the director of Hungary’s Anti-Terrorism Unit, told US Weekly:

“Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren’t.”

The magazine reports that the SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse that housed weapons for the movie on Monday. Most of the weapons confiscated were automatic, military-style assault rifles.

A source from the movie said that the guns were delivered without the consent of the Anti-Terrorism Unit and that the guns came with paperwork saying that they were non-functional guns.

Janos said that they are currently interrogating personnel to get to the bottom of the incident.

Brad Pitt, whose company Plan B Entertainment is producing World War Z, is supposedly furious over the incident. World War Z is already over budget and behind schedule. The movie is expected to be released this December.

Do you think this was an honest mistake? Should Brad Pitt be thanking his lucky stars that the SWAT team did find the guns? Otherwise, a real gun may have been used as a prop and someone may have been hurt or killed.

As fans of Max Brooks’ modern zombie classic World War Z await the film adaptation eagerly, shooting continues in Glasgow on the flick.

And if you’re one of the zombie-lovers excited to see the movie version of bestseller- an undead epic set after a worldwide pandemic of walking dead- then you probably know it stars Brad Pitt. Pitt’s role in the film isn’t very clearly defined to fans yet, but the actor did get to play a hero recently while crew shot scenes for World War Z in Scotland.

During filming in George’s Square in Glasgow, an extra- one of 700- was knocked to the ground during a melee. And quite like the stampedes you might see in a zombie flick, the woman was nearly trampled by her hundreds of co-stars. Although the woman didn’t get to spend too long with Pitt, he did manage to pick her up and dust her off after she was knocked to the ground in the chaos:

“Lots of people hurt themselves, and Brad came to the rescue of a woman who slipped,” an insider told the paper. “I don’t think she could believe it when Brad picked her up.

“He didn’t have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly grazed knee.”

The scene being shot was an “epic battle scene,” with hundreds of cast and crew milling about during filming. The film’s staff have since briefly paused filming to carry out a “safety talk,” as a few of the extras suffered minor abrasions during the incident.

The ever-popular zombie genre’s reigning favorite book is set to be a box office hit, it seems, as Brad Pitt has committed to starring in the novel’s big screen adaptation.

World War Z is unique in its execution as a novel that presents a zombie apocalypse in war movie style vignettes, and along with author Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide, it has been massively successful within the zombie genre. (The Zombie Survival Guide is also being adapted as a film.) Brooks spoke to MTV about the film at Comic-Con:

Brooks said the studio recently received a new draft of the “World War Z” script, and “Quantum of Solace” director Marc Forster is still attached to direct the film.

“I’m glad they took their time, and are trying to make the best zombie movie they can,” said Brooks. “I’m so glad they stayed with the project and so glad they found the right team.”

Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment is producing the film, and a summer 2012 release is expected.

“Changeling” scribe J. Michael Straczynski is writing the screenplay, and Brad Pitt’s Plan B is producing, according to Variety.

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is a novel by Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks) which chronicles a fictional zombie apocalypse, specifically the titular “Zombie World War”, as a series of after-the-fact oral history interviews with prominent survivors.

If you’re not familiar with the work, Wikipedia has the details here, but warning, serious spoilers.
