Hoboken, New Jersey, was the place to be last night, especially if you’re a Brad Pitt fan. On Wednesday, the actor dropped by an advance screening of his summer film World War Z.
The visit was unannounced, so the fans were shocked at the unexpected visit.
Pitt is heavily promoting the upcoming zombie film which has been plagued with issues throughout production from script rewrites to production halts due to illegal firearms. The original release date was December 2012, but with all of the setbacks, the film was pushed to this summer.

The actor dressed in his usual all-black ensemble to greet the audience. The crowd cheered as he entered the room and shared his enthusiasm for the popcorn movie.
Pitt said in a video shot by a theatergoer, “Thank you all for coming out. I know it’s late, and we really appreciate it… Today we came out to show the film for the people we made it for — our fans!”
