Guns for Pitt film seized by police

Hungarian police announced last Monday they had seized a shipment of weapons stored in a warehouse near Budapest airport, only for a film producer to reveal they were props for a new Brad Pitt film.

Police told a press conference they had found and confiscated the arsenal – which included machine guns, hand guns and sniper guns – at a customs-free area near the airport in a dawn raid last Monday.

As it turns out, the weapons were meant as props for a new zombie film featuring Hollywood star Brad Pitt and partly filmed in Malta, World War Z, a film producer told local television RTL Klub.

Shooting in Hungary for the film was to begin last Monday evening in an industrial district of Budapest.

It was not delayed by the police action, the producer said.
