OlderBrad 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??

***************
Kimberly Stewart, the daughter of rock legend Rod Stewart has revealed that she’d love to go to bed with Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
++++++++++++++++
Fugly Stewart can keep right on dreaming with the rest of the world! LOL! This chick is a twit. Sorry Rod. The only worthwhile contribution she’s ever made to the planet is being polite and calling X “homely”. And the sad thing is…X is prettier than Kimberly Stewart!
****************
Wrong! Ophrah is prettier than the X!

get a life please.
Malibu is truly the dungeon of the devil! 6:55 am new fire breaks out in coral canyon. Some ppl have already evacuated-Kids at Pepperdine are evacuated(there were some who didn’t go home for the holiday)-I was never thrilled with the place from the beginning-I think Britney must’ve been barbequing early this morning or something-Not only can she not drive, she can’t cook either! Any way I forgot to say hi Guli-PT(I think you could be president. I would vote 4 U)Sheri (thanks) Addicted2BAMZS(where are U) Alex (How’s’ life)!
PT I wanted to ask if you or anyone ever hear from Cindy2, Moi Jade or any old ones on the email group? Please say hi 4 me. I am way busier than I used to be-Anyway, your humour reminds me of Lainey-Lainey is a favorite of mine at this point-I don’t know how it happened, but I gained a new respect for her-She should’ve been the one and only replacement on the View (but that’s another story)
Anyway-I gotta go meet with some clients-take care

LOS ANGELES — Brad Pitt has backed out of a Universal Pictures movie set to begin filming this year.
“State of Play” was to star Pitt as a political consultant-turned-journalist who helps investigate the death of a congressman’s mistress.

The actor left the production Wednesday, Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reported on its Web site.
“Brad Pitt has left the Universal Pictures production of ‘State of Play,’” the studio said in a statement. “We remain committed to this project and to the filmmakers, cast members, crew and others who are also involved in making the movie. We reserve all rights in this matter.”
A message left early Friday for Pitt’s publicist, Cindy Guagenti, was not immediately returned.

I saw Baby Geniousese today starring Angie’s dad, he was funny in it :D
http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/strike-pushing-back-big-studio-movies-to-2009-because-of-script-problems/
This does not by any means put any Hollywood studio even close to a crisis. Especially considering they all have a full slate for 2008. Still, the studios have been boasting how they planned for this writers strike. Well, no one can plan for everything. The latest film to be affected is Angels & Demons, part of bestselling novelist Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code franchise for Sony with Ron Howard directing and Brian Grazer producing for their Imagine Entertainment. This was the pic for which Akiva Goldsman, who adapted Dan Brown’s worldwide bestseller Da Vinci Code into a $755.6 mil hit pic, received $4 million — a new $$$ high for a screenwriter (not a spec script and not even an original screenplay, but an adaptation of a book). Yet from what I hear, star Tom Hanks isn’t happy with the state of the script he’s been presented and the start of filming has been pushed back right now from March to May at the earliest.
In response to my query today, the studio just gave me this statement: “With the strike nearing its third week, Columbia Pictures has postponed production of Angels & Demons. While the filmmakers and the studio feel the screenplay is very strong, we do not believe it is the fully-realized production draft required of this ambitious project. At this time, there is no new start date for Angels & Demons, but we are setting a release date of May 15, 2009 and are hopeful to deliver the movie worldwide to theaters on that date. We do not expect any other film on our 2008 slate to be affected.”
Other movies affected by the writers strike and described as having script problems because the screenwriters are on the picket lines instead of in front of their computers : 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Voyage helmed by Roland Emmerich, Paramount’s Transformers 2 from DreamWorks, the Reese Witherspoon starrer Morning Glory produced by J.J. Abrams for Paramount, Universal’s State Of Play starring Brad Pitt (again the star isn’t happy with the state of the script).
Some of these have been pushed off their 2008 dates to 2009.
But don’t believe the rumors that two other movies are in trouble because of the writers strike. Supposedly, Sony’s remake of The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three was in trouble because Brian Helgeland only finished 80 pages of his rewrite. But I’m told the studio still has the original finished David Koepp script which, after all, was a good enough draft for the studio to greenlight the pic in the first place.
There’ve also been rumors about 20th Century Fox’s Night Of The Museum 2 which is supposed to start filming in April. Scribe Scott Frank rewrote over four “very solid” weeks just under the wire of the walkout deadline and finished a “very good” screenplay, sources so. But even so, the script still needs work to get to the finish line. I hear its star, Ben Stiller, will wrap principal photography on his Tropic Thunder next week (he’s directing and starring). So he’ll be ready to go. But Night 2, which had been hoped for Christmas 2008, will be a Summer 2009 release.
