World War Z: Brad Pitt films in Essex water plant
A water treatment plant in Essex has been given a Hollywood makeover for Brad Pitt's zombie blockbuster World War Z.
The Essex and Suffolk Water's site, in East Hanningfield, near Chelmsford, was was turned into a South Korean prison for the film, based on a book by Max Brooks.
Although the two weeks of filming took place in September 2011, a confidentiality agreement meant staff could not talk about their experiences until now.
Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a UN inspector chosen to investigate the source of a viral outbreak that has turned three billion people into zombies.
