NEW YORK: After making an appearance with wife Angelina Jolie post her double mastectomy and celebrating her 38 birthday by gifting her lingerie, actor Brad Pitt is back to serious business. The producer-actor premiered his latest flick ‘World War Z’ at Manhattan ahead of its worldwide release.

Brad Pitt was present at Times Square and he premiered the apocalyptic thriller ‘World Wide Z’ in the presence of a mass crowd. He also signed autographs for his fans.

The film starring as well as produced by Brad Pitt is based on the novel of the same name by Max Brooks and has the actor playing a United Nations investigator. ‘World War Z’ also has Mireilie Enos playing his wife.

Angelina Jolie who was with Brad Pitt for the London premiere was not present, but Brad Pitt could not shy away from talking about her. “She is doing great, onward and upward,” he said.

The actor-producer also spoke about the film and philosophies. “I don’t have a mantra. It’s just spending the time with the people I value. I like calling shots on the fly and having the faith in myself to make the right decisions. Wisdom comes with age. I like it,” he signs off in style.

Post ‘Moneyball’, Brad Pitt produced ‘Killing Them Softly’ and he now returns with ‘World War Z’. The film after making its premiere in London and now Manhattan, is set to release in India and round the globe on 21 June.
