Pitt, The Gray Man?
Pitt is currently in talks right now to take on the lead role in the movie which would see him play the world’s greatest assassin who once worked for the CIA, but finds his name cropping up on the “burned” list after his latest job goes wrong. Due to this he must now go on the run to avoid the forces that are hunting him. With no help from his former employers he must get pretty creative when trying to save himself, and it doesn’t get any easier as he must also protect and save two girls who have no idea he’s their dad.
The film, which has been adapted from the thriller novel by Mark Greaney, will see James Gray directing while Adam Cozard will be writing the film’s script.
If Pitt does sign on, which it looks like he might, it is believed he would start filming after he has finished zombie invasion flick World War Z.
Smith's Memoir to get Film Treatment
The book won the National Book Award for non-fiction last year, and now Smith is working on a script along with the John Logan, who wrote the screen plays for Aviator and Hugo.
Just Kids centres on the relationship between the rock star and legendary photographer Robert Mapplethorpe after they met in 1967. It goes on to document the subsequent five years as their careers took off, whilst they lived together.
Smith and Mapplethorpe remained good friends after their relationship ended and his work was the inspiration behind many of her album covers.
With Logan on board it looks as though this film has great potential, considering he has particular experience in the re-writing of true-life stories for the big screen, with films such as The Last Samurai.
There is currently no news on who will be playing the legendary couple, but you can guarantee given their influence and reputation there will be plenty of people queuing up for the roles.
