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??

881- sheri, no i’ve never seen the poster ” so ” before yesterday. I thought maybe some of you guys had. About posting in french, claire thought some people might be offended but you all have been great about it and i told her. All we do anyway is talk about the topic of the moment- gg, oscars…thank you for saying what you did though, it’s really nice. :smile: 884- passing through - lol…trolls are so stupid they like to be abused. You and jill are two of the best smackers so stalkers flock to both of you and come back for more! I gotta say, it’s pretty entertaining…lol

That’s why I said I don’t read the comments at D-listed. I learned a long time ago that the people posting on his J-P threads tend to come from FF and Perez. I’m not reading D-listed for J-P info and I don’t think MK has any kind of hidden agenda when it comes to Angie. He does’t like her and thinks Brad’s a tool. He’s made that clear. I’m reading it strictly as a satircal commentary on the other celebs. I very rarely (read, never) agree with what he has to say about Brad or Angie, but he does like the kids.


well I understood that you don’t read the comments. (maybe you should)

but don’t ever underestimate the power of the comments (and the registered posters) for a blog owner.

I know that what I’m talking about is a little conspiracy theory here.

again — he was not that negative about angelina in the beginning… it all started after the FF infestation..

ALSO, he’s smart enough to balance his agenda with some mad, z and pax lovin’.
(who wouldn’t love them anyway??)

but then again, I hope you’re right.

916 my take

Now you have Brad in his 40’s suddenly taking up adoption? Give me a break! All of a sudden he wants to fly planes and get tattoes!
……

I’m willing to bet Angelina knows more about building designs than she every wanted to know pre Brad. Dang she went to Spain just to look at old buildings. Angelina has taken up motocycling as a social activity. Yes she had done it in movies but not any other time pre Brad. Angleina was find not giving birth to a child pre Brad but decided to have one.

Sounds to me like two people in a relationship. Being interested in each other wants, needs and interests.

it's Angie or Angelina ds @ 11/23/2007 at 6:49 pm

poor ange :

No you mean happy and joyfilled Angie, who now has a partner she loves and who loves her and who shares her interests and who supports her in every way and with whom she has four much loved children.

Thank You for Your post.. It is called taking an interest in Your Loves passions.. Which no previous partner of either Brad and Angie have done before.. But when You are in love and commited to one another You do that kind of a thing… God why is this such a foreign idea to these trolls.. lmao

The skirt is red/black knit. I’m going to wear it with a black cashmere turtleneck sweater. I’d love to get me some Christian Loboutins as well (black with the red soles) but those things cost $700. Maybe if I get a tax refund…
———————————-
arhggg! You get those shoes I want a pic! Just to weep over! Hopefully I will be in NYC when the sales are on, I’m trying to make a dinner date with NYLurker, would you like to join us? I should know my schedule end of the weekend, don’t know if you have PT’s email she has mine. Would love to meet you wearing your bad ass skirt, FYI have friends in the fashion dist. Ok, that really sounded not right, sorry, will email to see if the pumps are available. What size you never know what falls off a truck! :lol: And don’t get silly about that, you know!

Ok really going to pick up stuff! BBL

THOSE WHO SWALLOWED THE ‘GOLDEN COUPLE’ KOOL-AID

CONTINUE TO PERPETUATE THE MYTH THAT ALL WAS WELL IN GOLDEN-COUPLE

LAND. THEN ALONG CAME THE VIXEN ANGIE WHO STOLE BRAD AWAY.

THEY BELIEVE THAT BRAD “HUMILIATED” THE X SO NOW THEY HATE HIM AS

MUCH AS THEY HATE ANGIE.

HOWEVER, WHAT TYPE OF GOLDEN-COUPLE FAN ONLY HATES BRAD?

ANSWER: ONE WHO KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT THE GOLDEN-COUPLE MYTH WAS JUST

THAT - A MYTH.

ERGO: YOU ARE THE X! HIDING AND POSTING ALL KINDS OF HATE-FILLED

POSTS ABOUT BRAD.

SHHHH…….SHE’S ONLINE RIGHT NOW.

EEEEEXACTLY!!!

Alex!!!! Whoop…. Darn it, I thought hubby was going to have a heart attack :-) Tripple OT, sheesh. Yep now that LSU lost we have another shot at it :lol: :lol:
How have you been Alex? How was your TG? I am on lurk mode, I saw your post and wanted to respond…

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

No one knows that, except Brad and maybe ___. As if ___ would admit to Brad getting a tattoo; ___ spent too much time painting Brad as a normal, down to earth guy just because her dull @$$ couldn’t elevate beyond that stupid girl next door image. Brad Pitt was always down to earth, so the effort on ___ was unnecessary, and quite frankly, a possible stall tactic.

At any rate, it’s entirely possible that the tats in the Oceans movie and Snatch was more about Brad’s desires than what the scripts dictated. I don’t know; neither do the naysayers.

All your responses to my posts are exactly what I expected of you. I have been laughing my head off. I don’t feel in the least bruised or put down by your lame, shrill, foaming at the mouth responses. Au contraire, it left me feeling quite sad for the lot of you. Oh well, I will leave you to your regularly scheduled “Brad hung the moon” rhapsodizing.

&&&&&&&&&&&

if you really want foaming at the mouth responses, you should go to FF– AKA the psycholand.

you’ll find many ill wishes for angie, brad and their kids over there.

piper, with a low @ 11/23/2007 at 7:37 pm

Forgive me fellow fans, for I am about to do something that the haters are notorious for; posting opinion articles/links that confirm my theories. Now again, this person is giving an analysis; take it or leave it:

Hey Guli, well I am glad your hubby did not have a heart attack :), this is awesome news for Ohio State, but they still need some more help, some of the teams in front of them need to lose at well, it should be interesting come tomorrow to see how the rest of the teams in the run for the championship do.

I am doing great, just got home a little while ago, we went to the mall. My TG was great, thanks, how was yours? Hope it was wonderful.

I will talk to you later, we are going to watch a movie now, keeping my fingers cross for your team.

the real tita @ 11/23/2007 at 7:38 pm

#940: PT, maybe the miscarriage was before Brad, with Tate D perhaps. Then she still continued on while married to Brad so she would never got preggers. She would have to be thin because she had to wear all those nice clothes on Friends and was feeling A-list already at the time, meaning always red carpet ready and preparing to do face-offs with the real stars.
