Brad Pitt Drops ‘State of Play’

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??

Just look at Tom Cruise for example, or John Travolta, the more defensive they are about their sexuality, the more convinced people become that they have something to hide.

+++++++++++++

Um…bad examples…cuz they DO have something to hide! LOL! Actually…Travolta totally sucks at hiding it. Kissing men on the lips on the stairs of your private plane? Dude…take that shite inside if you don’t want people saying you’re gay!

When the incident happen at the Indian School where they were filming AMH, the media was blaming Angelina’s bodyguards. Not Brad and Angelina just Angelina’s bodyguard. Brad took the lead. He went to the police office. He went on tv. He spoke to reporters. He explained that neither he nor Angelina would hire racist bodyguards. Brad talked about Angelina’s feelings.

greetings from Holland,

good morning, afternoon, evening to all BAMPZS fans all over the world, and Happy thanksgiving to all and Jared too

HAYDEN PANETTIERE: IF YOU EVER CALL ME A LESBIAN LET MY AFFAIR BE WITH ANGELINA JOLIE

“I can’t even imagine if my life was like hers. She’s someone that I’m rooting for, and I hope she can make that comeback, definitely.”

If so, then that story posted early didn’t make that clear. It was all run together like she was talking about Angie.

the Rudolf Steiner School in Manhattan is where Jennifer attended school from the ages of 11-18,
*************************************************

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO say it ain’t so!!!!!

I went to Steiner elementary in the 1950s from grade 2 to grade 6. As private schools go, it was pretty good back then. I got a nice solid education in the fundamentals, none of that “progressive education” bullshit. But how in the world that airhead ever got into Steiner I will never understand. They must have relaxed their admissions standards.

Hayden was misquoted by the person who brought her quote to this thread.

I just saw that. It’s not that she was misquoted. The story earlier was poorly edited.

Oh, we get that there are those who don’t see Brad Pitt through rose-colored glasses. For anyone who expressed a positive opinion about him, they get some yahoo trying to shout them down. WE GET THAT! But, what you fail to recognize is that, in this universe, two actors in the same movie, can deliver outstanding performances. In the case of TAOJJ, there were several people who did just that, including Brad Pitt. Shake your head if you want, but it won’t dissuade those who actually saw the movie, from feeling this way.

You think that Casey should have won at Venice. Maybe he should have; but then again, there was probably other actors who were just as worthy. My problem is that people like you beef about stuff that was never within your control. But hey, if Venice means that much to you, fine. Personally, I think that you’re deliberately overlooking some facts, like Brad, himself, being surprised that he won the award and that at every opportunity, he praised Casey for his work in the film and in Gone Baby Gone and not in a patronizing, big fish grudgingly giving the little fish some props (unless you count the roast-like speech at the Hollywood Awards, which you might), but as one actor being struck by another actor’s skill.

No, Brad doesn’t deserve bonus points for being the same man he has been throughout his career, but he does deserve some consideration, instead of being looked at through hater-shades.

Take your beef up with the Venice committee.

Janice Dickinson is in her 50s? Oh, that’s even sadder.

++++++++++++

Yep…Wikipedia lists her birthday as February 15, 1955.

Janice Dickinson is a freaking loony tune. Did you ever see her on The Surreal Life? She was in the same bunch of Omarosa from The Apprentice, baseball player/steroid abuser Jose Canseco and Pink’s hubby Carey Hart. OMFG. She and Omarosa used to have some hilarious b#tch fights and Omarosa always kept saying Janice was high from doing coke…and then one night at dinner I can’t even remember what Janice did to her, but Omarosa had a knife and said she’d had enough of Janice’s sh#t and was going to “fix her”. Then the episode ended…and I forgot to watch the next week and I never did see what happened with that fight! I just know that Omarosa kept saying she was leaving and wasn’t staying in the same house as “that pyscho b#tch”. It was hilarious…because Janice Dickinson really IS a “psycho b#tch”!

LADIES, EAT YO HEARTS OUT!! I found me a slammin’ Saint John’s Knits skirt at Saks Fifth Avenue ON SALE for less than $150!

For the X to attend her HS reunion it must be an all-time low. Can you imagine her even thinking of going to such an event during her “golden couple” years? She must be starved of attention to attend such an event. IMO it smells of desperation.

+++++++++++++

ROTFLMAO. So, so true. She’d have sent her regrets that she and her hubby, “mega-movie star Brad Pitt” were oh so sorry they couldn’t attend, but both were too busy filming and were unable to get time off.

847- passing through - lmao! Stop it! Oh, no wait…don’t. It’s really funny. Did you have to defend yourself a lot? Because you’re hilarious with your comebacks!

Her 15 minutes are going to be up the second Heroes is cancelled and the way the show is currently going in the ratings there’s a possibility that it will be soon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THE RATINGS AGAIN

++++++++++++++

Why, did they go up? Just a few weeks ago there was a big article - either EW or TVG - on the seasons most disappointing ratings and they listed Heroes numbers as being down almost 50% and said the writers strike wasn’t going to help that number at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, Janice was the one with the knife. They were doing a photo shoot with the whole cast and Janice decided to pick up a butcher knife and hold it like she was going to stab Omarosa with it. Omarosa lost it and stormed off.

But anyway, I do agree that Janice has some major issues, mainly stemming from the abuse from her father. IMO, that’s probably the reason why Janice is fixated on Angelina. Angelina never suffered the brutality Janice did, but there is something about Angelina that makes people feel a kinship towards her. The problem is that the severely damaged ones take it too far.

To my take

When all the tabloids were going after Oprah, what man was behind that?

+++++++++++++++++

Pfffft…come on…you KNOW that was 100$ Stedman! The world’s oldest long-suffering “boyfriend”.

Truly…Stedman deserves a special award for putting up with tabloid rumors the longest. He’s been with Okra since the mid 80s. IS there an accusation this guy hasn’t heard? I can’t stand Okra…but Stedman seems okay.

# 858,

Thank you.
I really respect your pov. Not everyone can think the same.
Let’s hope for the best, and some justice to happen!!!

the real tita @ 11/23/2007 at 5:07 pm

#861: PT, maybe the X thought she’d be all over the news with her attendance but this is the first I’ve heard of it and only here at JJs. The poor woman is trying to get attention wherever she can get it…just like her troll fans. Was that why she needed Smith of SATC? She had to show off an arm candy?

How the mighty has fallen. Years ago, she wouldn’t be caught dead at this kind of non-HW affairs. Next stop…opening of an envelope and the daily Starbucks run (with or without the beau de jour).

Stedman deserves what he gets. To allow himself to be paraded by Okra whenever she needs to present a “i-am-the-common-woman” image he’s definitely not OK in my books.
