Brad Pitt’s Movie Set Raided by SWAT Team in Hungary

In a bizarre turn of events, the movie set on which Brad Pitt was working with Oscar-nominated director Marc Forster was raided by Hungarian police and a SWAT team. The film, "World War Z," is the movie adaptation of the book by Max Brooks. It turns out that the weapons that were shipped to the set and stored in a nearby warehouse – and that were supposed to be non-functional replicas – were actual firearms. Though the appearance and work of the SWAT team may have just seemed like another day on set, it was most definitely not.

According to a report from US Weekly, the raid on the Budapest warehouse resulted in anti-terrorism forces taking 85 functioning guns. The firearms were automatic weapons of a military grade and were, in fact, in working order. Noted the director of Hungary’s anti-terrorism unit in an official statement, "This morning a private plane brought guns wrapped in a parcel from a company to an individual [in Budapest]. Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were to be used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren’t."

Hopefully not. A source told US Weekly that Plan B Entertainment, the production company owned by Pitt, was not to blame for the mishap, saying, "The movie company’s employees must have made a mistake bringing the guns in without the Anti-Terrorism Unit’s permission." The movie is set to release in December, 2012, and there is no word whether the latest adventure will push back that timeframe.
