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??

Only a story because Brad is involved. I bet there were hotspots on the land purchased by Habitat for Humanity in NO.

Does anyone know if Angie finished working on Changeling?

Angie is the best actress and Clint Eastwood is the best director.

ANGIE and CLINT EASTWOOD = THE WINNING COMBINATION.

Thanx.

I will stop now. Some search statistics on actors&movies/country/time… I hope it’s interesting for some of you :-)

Compare these all to britney! If you want true earch power she is the queen.

Sam p, I also like johnny depp and matt damon… :) this is why i did not want to put this comparison in words ;-)

I won’t comment on the other actors (besides angie and brad)…

But I would like to highlight that you can see why Beowulf was described as Angelina movie in some countries…

165 sam p :
=================
This is great. I don’t like JD and MD. They are not attractive and not good actors at all to me.

:-)) well, you got your point :-))

sam, you got your point :-)

sam, so, she should start acting, right? ;-)

Brad probably shouldn’t have argued with the hot young director Kevin MacDonald! He’s British. He’s an Oscar Winner. He just came off of the Last King of Scotland and he’s a genious. If Brad had a case, Universal would have found a new director for Pitt. Looks like they chose an A+ cast and an A+ Director over a man with one of the lowest Q scores in all of Hollywood. With this cast and this Director, they’ll have no problem replacing Pitt.

Mighty Heart and Assasination of Jesse James tanked as well. Most people know Iraq and Afghinastan films dont fare well. Experts are already predicting Hank’s Charlie Wilson wont do well too. There were no anti war films done where there was war at Vietnam but Hollywood is so stupid to bring all this antiwar themes that Americans dont wonna see.
They need feel good patriotic all American films and does not have to be Pro-Bush experts say.
