Brad Pitt Drops ‘State of Play’
Brad Pitt has dropped out of State of Play and Universal Pictures is currently trying to replace him, according to Variety.
If Brad’s character doesn’t recast and get the picture going by Nov. 29, it will begin losing the other actors in the film and Universal can bring a lawsuit against Brad for bailing.
Brad was set to star alongside Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Robin Wright Penn in the Matthew Michael Carnahan-scripted adaptation of the British miniseries. Brad was playing a politico-turned-journalist who spearheads a newspaper’s investigation of a murder, a trail that leads to the fast-rising pol whose campaigns were once masterminded by Brad’s character.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brad has pulled out because of script concerns and the script cannot be worked on due to the writers strike.
Who could possibly fill the shoes of Brad Pitt??

I don`t think he will stay home all his time,he knows that means more fight with A.J.so for sure he will look for another movie to stay away from her.

I guess you must be so goodlooking and will stay forever young! You’ll die young or be old too. Take your pick!
Brad Pitt is a very attractive soon to be 44-year old.
I think some need to lighten up or learn how to skip post. If people can jest about their sex life( Pitt p orn) all the time. I certainlt don’t think making jokes about baby making time is any different given both of them recently have said they want more children.
ANYBODY !!! he’s just HOT the man can’t act
There have been a number of writers working on the SOP script. The last had to stop due to the writer’s strike and he was working up to the last minute to get a rewrite done, so who knows what cra* was written. Brad had script approval and it’s better to bail on a bad script, especially if they have been meeting about this for 2 weeks and could not work things out. Another blog said they were going after Russell Crowe or JDepp, and Depp won’t do it if the script is bad. Crowe might.
Brad already has two movies coming out next year, Plan B has several projects, plus he and Angie have their HBO project. The writer’s stike has thrown all into a loop as far as projects getting done.
Brad had a pay or play contract and script approval, Universal won’t sue, they will find another film for him to do. AOJJ was done at Warner’s because he owed them a film.
Jared—I’ll post again and thanks for the new thread! But, if you stoop that low again like the last thread, forget it.
Hello BAMPZS Fans! Happy Thanks Giving to you lovely ladies and gents :-)

Brad and Ed are doing a HBO project together on Lewis and Clark.
Plus Ed is still working on the Hulk. Ed Norton is a perfectionist. He rewrote some of the script for the Hulk. If he has the ability to get out of SOP he will. But I don’t know if he as script approval like Brad.

Well since some saw Angie’s Freedom Award as an obscure award and all, they definitely won’t have a problem reducing Angie to a working womb.
I have no problem with ‘Pitt P*rn’ but excuse me for getting tired of reading post after post about they going ons of a women womb.

Matthew Michael Carnahan was blogging just before the strike that there was so much pressure going on to get re-writes done on a number of films including White Noise which Clooney dropped out of. It just sounds like the script wasn’t up to par. With the strike going on and an actors strike looming the studio wants it done this year.
estoy bien arreglandome para salir con mi esposo y mi mamá y todo el mundo!!!! el mio es Aleine23. tu estas suscrita a MFchar?

All three are world wide megastars. All three are at the top of the foodchain in Htown. Depp’s 44, Brad’s 43, Will’s 39. They are the creme de la creme. Clooney’s 46, also is up there with them. They are the go to stars for movies. Tom Cruise’s 45, not so much as the others these days, and that sorta describes Russell Crowe(43).
My question is who other than MattD (37) and maybe CBale (33) is coming up to take their places? Eric Bana (39)?
All these guys are in their 40’s and 30’s.
50’s equal Denzel and Bruce.
Who are the 20 somethings who will rise above the rest?
oh my gosh!a new thread,thanks i love papa pitts.
