Thanks JJ

If he’s a bad actor , Quentin Tarantino wouldn’t choose him fo the role ..

SUCKERS :P

Thanks for the new thread . I wonder if this is true. Did a reliable source confirm this. I wonder if he will still do the fighter. That movie could always happen later in the year. Of course all of this depends on whether there is a strike.

looks aside. acting - leo @ 20… way better than grandpa armpits - now.

That movie hasn’t even been made yet, but it goes on my must-see and must-buy-the-DVD list!

First or second @ 07/16/2008 at 1:11 pm

Roberta the only reason for pitt in movies anymore is to bring attention to the movie. he sucks! He’s a tabloid actor and nothing more. the only old man in the tabloids is brad attention whre pitt.

thank god Tom Cruise is not picked. He is a loser now not what he used to be.

Brad still has some talent. His last movie shows that he is clearly underated talentwise. He should show some of that in that movie.

Go Leo! I read the script and the role is very challening. And I mean VERY challenging. He’s called the Jew Hunter! Scary.

I know this subject will be swarmed with annoying Brangelina fans now, but are there any other Leo fans?

I shall see the movie if Brad Pitt is in it.

He is a good actor. I love Babel, and also his portrayal of Jesse James.

I have much much RESPECT for him, Angie and I adore their kids.

You Losers insult every movie that comes out but you act like a bunch of crazed stalkers for every JP project. It doesnt matter how bad it is of if its even a guarantee it’ll be made you say stupid a** sh*t like this weirdo above. you people are comical.

no!!!! brad will make Leo look bad, and brad is a hunk, he’s so sweet and a great actor, have you haters been living under a rock for the last 20 years, stop it already, you lost big time, sore losers, sexy, sexy brad. i will be front row center.

I agree #18. I’ll see this film for DiCaprio and the fact that Tarantino is directing. Plus, DiCaprio has the better role.

No comparison @ 07/16/2008 at 1:22 pm

DiCaprio is the better actor. No wonder Tarantino is offering Leo the best part in the script.

Would be wonderful to see Leo and Brad together, but I think Leo is so much better than Brad as an actor, but I like Brad too. And will be an eye drops for women eys, because Leo and Brad are HANDSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first @ 07/16/2008 at 12:55 pm he’s gross looking and he’s a bad actor.

———————————————————————————————–
AT LEAST HE’S A BAD ACTOR. WHAT ABOUT YOU??????
I’LL TELL YOU A GOOD FOR NOTHING *******.

you losers believe your own lies, no plastic on him at all, he is very handsome, still a box office draw, still in demand, and he is not old, Harrison ford is old, how old are you hags? 12, brad is a great actor, and well respected in the industry, he can’t help it if he is so gorgeous tabloids want his face every where.

I will see this movie if Brad is in it. Brad is much better actor than Leo and Brad is much hotter than Leo.

vickifromtexas @ 07/16/2008 at 1:27 pm

they are both in my opinion good actors. i think it will make for a great pairing.

We all know the Brangelina fans will come here and start bashing Leo, saying how he sucks and Brad’s the ALL TIME BEST actor in Hollywood…. blah blah

JP fans would be respected more if they just were honest and said “I love Brad Pitt for his looks and personal life and therefore I will see anything he’s in even though he’s not a very good actor”.

Very Cool …Thank You Jared..
I love All Three of Them.. Yummy Brad and Leo together…

I see Fuckface is still so obsessed with Brad He can’t think straight….

Why do you have to compare their looks. They’re actors and you’re an idiot, Sharon.

you hags beat the fans here, you like him too, you are the reason he sales tabloids, he’s a great actor and he’s handsome.

newport beach, 92660 @ 07/16/2008 at 1:30 pm

**GASP** I’ll be first in line to watch that movie!

Leonardo DiCaprio is my life, and Brad Pitt has always been. So both of my fav actors in a movie…. ya definitly can’t wait!

ClaireBabyGirl @ 07/16/2008 at 1:30 pm

What is wrong with you weird Brangelina fans and accepting people’s opinions? So what if someone thinks Brad is a bad actor? It’s their opinion!

Anyway, Brad Pitt and especially Leonardo DiCaprio are great additions to the film. Great script.

You rock, Brad. I can’t wait to see this movie. I don’t know if he has time to make this movie. Brad is a busy busy man. I don’t like Leo, he is a very bad actor. Never watch his movie.

Watch Jesse James that is not bad acting. His performance in that is really underrated.

i’m so glad Brad is on board this movie he can film close to family without them having to move them around. perhaps he has the role he has so he doesn’t have to be in that many shootings.

Box Office Draw where???? In what country???? Brad Pitt is NO “box office draw”. sorry to break it to you. He does not make money at the theaters. He needs Angelina or George to do that. Even back in the day he needed Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire. Tom was always a bigger name than he was.

Congrats to Brad. He and Angie are just wonderful. Whis would be great. He would continue to stay in Europe for a while. I don’t think Angie will be doig much traveling. But you neverknow about this couple. They travel as a family.

Cause the TRUTH hurts. JP fans dont want the truth out there. They feel the need to protect him. Major signs of STALKERISM

I will see this movie because of Leo being in it. I hope Brad doesn’t accept the part because his acting is painful to watch.

I hope Brad can make this movie. Brad is a very talented actor. Leo is just so so.

I 2nd that.

the haters will never get respected , because you sit around waiting for news about bp/aj and start your bitchin about them not being great actors not being gorgeous, you attack them without even knowing the stories, how jealous and stupid do you have to be? brad is a veteran, and a great actor, leo is ok, but brad will get me to the theatre, he’s good, not one dimensional actor. you like leo? go somewhere else and talk about him, this is brad thread, it;s always about brad, move along nothing new here, it;s all about hunky brad. jealousy is sad.

shoes4life @ 07/16/2008 at 1:45 pm

Both Brad & Leo are good actors and both are very handsome men. I think it will be great to see the two of them on film together.

I can’t stand LD. He is ugly and looks so old for his age. His acting sucks. Brad is hot and beautiful and a great actor. I am looking forward to the movie.

if Leo is so much greater than Brad why is this not a Leo thread ?

Leo Dicaprio AND Brad Pitt in a movie…..WOO-HOO!!! Talk about my dream come true,lol !!! :-)

I do prefer Leo to Brad but them together in one film was probably my no.1 dream when I was a teenager, lol!

Sounds interesting, though to be honest I think Tarantino’s recent films haven’t been as good as his older ones…at least in my opinion anyway.

Both professionally and personally, Brad’s life got much better by 10 fold. Angelina has been the greatest inspiration. Their children make Brad’s life whole. What an all-around upgrade from just a few years ago! Congrats Brad!!!

stop dreaming -

It doesnt matter what you think. Making movies is all business. If he’s not in high demand, no movie exec will pay him and to pay him handsomely. Think for a second, it’s Tarantino who flew to France to talk to him, not the other way around.

You can say whatever you want. Facts are facts, and no amount of your b.s. will convince anybody.

complexsimplicity @ 07/16/2008 at 1:52 pm

If you think QT is gonna make another Pulp fiction then your crazy. his last few movies have been decent, at best.

catherine @ 07/16/2008 at 1:52 pm

Quentin Tarantino desperately wants Brad Pitt. He flied to France to meet Brad. This doesn’t happen very often. Brad’s career is so hot.

Yay Leo!

I was never into him during the whole Titanic craze but since he started doing films like The Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Departed, Gangs of New York, Catch Me If You Can etc, I’ve really become a fan of him as an actor & look forward to his films…really looking forward to the one he’s doing/done with Kate Winslet & that other one he’s done with Ridley Scott!

Technically speaking, Leo is a great actor, Brad is very good and clearly underrated.

But those who think box office = Leo are delusional.

Like his counterpart Kate Winslet, both are great but unable to draw box office figures for a decade. I don’t remembered the last time Leo had a hit and draw masses on his sole name.

I hope that this collaboration will both show how much Brad can pull it off and how much the movie can be a hit because of the combination of the two of them as well as the script.

As for the one who accused Brangelin’s fans not accepting other’s opinion, how hypoccrit to single out one side , it is also the other way around when others don’t respect their opinion.

I personaly believe that Leo is the most intense actor between the two while Brad posesss the most charismatic and physical presence. Few actors have that difference. Brando was one of the rare.

The combination of both should be explosive for the joy of all viewers.

What kind of an Idiot, stays all day on a thread of someone they can’t stand arguing with Fans.. It’ not like You are going to change the mind of The Fans.. You just come off as being increibly angry, stupid and completely clueless..
Fans are here because We are Fans.. You are here because You need attention.. Get a Life..

Brad Pitt should retire in France since he has chosen French nationality for his new born.

Can people not just agree to disagree, without attacks. I am a brad fan but understand that others don’t. I don’t like tom cruse but lots of other people do.

how sad your sick little lives must be, really, how old are you people? i am an adult, betting on stupid things such as actors abilities, take your meds and go back to bed, i talk with intelligent people not people in jail, or psych wards, just waiting to bash people.

What kind of an Idiot, stays all day on a thread worshipping a stranger. I’ll tell you. A crazy obsessed Idiot Stalker.

Brad Pitt gross? NO WAY, you must have eye boogers or something because he’s GORGEOUS get those eyes checked pronto.

Brad is the man.

LMAOOO LOSER -

I own your ass . Shut the f*** up!

Two great actors! I’ll watch it :D

Tom was a box office king but not anymore. He can’t act. He can’t get a job now. Brad is always hotter and sexier than Tom. I admire his risky choices on variety of the movie roles. He never chooses move roles based on BO. He is a real artist and fine fine actor.

LMAOOO LOSER @ 07/16/2008 at 2:03 pm

You sound like a child (with a crush) who doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Go do your summer school homework.

Why must everyone on earth be compared with Brad, Angie and their kids? Leo and Brad are starring together, it a team work not a compettion neither is it a war.

let’s not engage stupidity, i am very happy ,for brad, leo is ok too, but i really cannot wait to see brad.

Brad PItt is hotter than ever. Very good actor.

Love Leo - he is a really good actor and a very good looking handsome man. He was very good looking when he was younger but I like this mature look also.

Good on the Pitts - planning the work schedules and locations around where they will be living - or visa versa — they really seem to plan everything very well.

I think Brad has about 4-5 movies waiting for him to work on. I can’t wait for BAR and CCOBB. Both movies look great.

Thanks Jared for the new thread. :) I really like Leo and I love Brad so I’ll be seeing this movie.
Hey Jared! You’re on People Mag’s “sites we’re loving” list! :)

jesuswearstennisshoes @ 07/16/2008 at 2:12 pm

Pitt is a very wooden actor, much like another gorgeous man, Gary Cooper. DiCaprio has more range but his looks have taken a downturn. I guess it’s hard to have the two, looks AND talent, together nowadays.

May I ask what a comment like “God Bless The Jolie-Pitts” is doing on a thread about BP’s acting?

wow! brad and leo together in a movie!!
thats a must watch!!
thanks ,JJ!

by the way y’all are behaving i can’t tell the haters from the fans now

Brad used to be hot but then he fucked Angelina…her ****** has been known to suck the hotness out of all living creatures.

Another 20million for Brad.So he flew all the way to see Brad.talk about being Powerful.

Tom cruise is so yesterday. Brad will be hot forever professionally and personally. And Leo, whatever, who cares.

beautifful @ 07/16/2008 at 2:17 pm

I’ll be there.

Both Brad and Leo are great actors, but I believe Brads role should have gone to someone else. Tarantino is kind of an ass! His movies, well most of them are awesome, but he is kind of an ass!!!!

If you bad mouth Brad and Leos acting, obviously you have not seen or studied their movies.

Brad: Leo:
Se7en The Basket Ball Diaries
12 Monkeys Titanic
Fight Club What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
7 Years in Tibet The Departed
Interview with a Vampire The Aviator
Jesse James Blood Diamonds

Even back in the day he needed Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vampire. Tom was always a bigger name than he was.

#############

If you understood how movie revenues worked you’d get how big a star Pitt is. He is also huge overseas. His US movies have done very well. Even Fight Club - though not at the BO - continues to bring in the money in the later revenue streams. He is a big and popular name which means a great deal for the later revenue streams which with most films account for 82% of a movie’s revenue.

In more recent years, the Oceans franchise owes a great deal to his participation. I don’t know why you’d discount that. Both Pitt and the studios have made a fortune off those movies. Another example is Mr and Mrs Smith which made $478 million BO worldwide and almost $800 million with later revenue streams. How many of those does he have to be a part of for you to understand why he is in such demand? The studios get his popularity with bth men and women - it doesn’t really matter if you don’t.

Smaller indie movies like Babel (which actually did VERY well) and Jesse James which Warner Brothers in their idiocy “dumped” are irrelevant to this discussion.

RachelSun @ 07/16/2008 at 2:20 pm

This will be a great pairing. There’s no reason for Brad Pitt fans to bash Leo. It is the trolls that come in and start that crap and then blame the fans. Maybe Tarantino is back to doing good movies again. He went to personnally meet w/ Brad to get him to sign on. Tarantino is pretty good w/ casting. I mean who would have thought Travolta at that time would work for Pulp Fiction? But he ended up doing a great job. I hope this is true.

I read somewhere if Brad takes this role, he will the highest pay actor in HW.

groundcontrol @ 07/16/2008 at 2:25 pm

Brad and Leo will be great. Maybe Leo will be his new Ed Norton.

Now that Leo has aged a bit he is much more handsome and rugged. Both of these actors have grown in their acting chops through the years. This pairing in a WWII Tarantino film will be highly anticipated.

Yeah, Brad is in high demand.

Poor Brad Pitt USED to be so hot.

As someone else stated Leo would rip him on the screen. Brad’s not a good actor and being next to someone like Leo in a movie, he’ll look like Lindsey Lohan. I’d pay to see that!

Leo ..hmm ok
Brad is the MAN.. looking forward to this movie just becoz Brad is in it.

Most of the time I scan these posts for links to pics, news, etc. I may not have seen before… But from time to time I’ll post something - a comment, question, etc.

To people like InFamous, etc., I find it quite strange that you follow the Jolie-Pitts from thread to thread, blog to blog just to insult them or call them “media-whores” & “attention-whores” - What does that make YOU & others like you? CELEBRITY-WHORES! That’s what. Can’t get enough of them.

It would seem that if you didn’t like them, you naysayers would be doing something more productive with your time then coming here (when you keep saying you can’t STAND THEM) to insult people you don’t know, including fellow posters too.

As I’ve said before, I’ll say again: I wouldn’t want some of you as my next door neighbors, much less a “friend”. If I was, & knew what two-faced, back-stabbers you were (that kind of personality is ALWAYS found out)… I’d have to constantly turn in circles (like a dog chasing its tail) to see if I’ve got a knife in my back from being figuratively “stabbed in the back” by a so-called “friend”.

Oh well, I guess an internet Blog, threads & the ability to post whatever drivel you come here with, in your minds, validates your existence - It doesn’t to me. If you don’t like somebody, ignore them & go somewhere else.

‘Bye

Brad used to be the pretty boy joke in Hollywood before Angelina.A man shouldn’t spend that much time tanning and waxing.Poor Brad 40 year of being called a pretty boy.am sure he’s glad to dump the minivan who only went to see his movies for his looks.

Brad will rip Leo on the screen re their looks and acting.

This sounds like it could be a great project! And Brad can stay in France.

Protesters yelling chants, calling for justice just outside of Angelina’s super-protected private hospital window may have woken up Brad, the new mom and their babies this evening …

Residents in Nice protested this evening outside Lenval Hospital, speaking out against what they say is the mayor’s undue attention to a celebrity birth over the murder of a local youth which, they say, received little attention from officials in the southern French city.

The local family, originally from North Africa, told X17 video cameras they demand justice for their 22 year -old son who was stabbed. The crowd chanted “We want justice!” A protester added that city officials have not paid attention to the boy’s murder and that they have not been allowed to return his body home.

The man said Nice’s mayor, Christian Estrosi, has been “celebrating the birth of the twins with Brad Pitt, meanwhile there has been no murder investigation and the killer [of the 22 year-old boy] is still running free in the city.”

Protesters became enraged and some even tried to enter the hospital. Anti-riot police were brought in and Brad and Angie hired three extra bodyguards to secure the hospital.

Could this be a wake-up call for Brangelina? We respect the couple’s charity work on philanthropy but is the spectacle of their children’s birth and their $70 million-dollar French chateau overshadowing a country’s own, more important news? No doubt it is, but is that Brad and Angelina’s fault or ours, the media’s?

I agree 100%

But what happened to his Mark Wahlberg movie he was gonna be filming in the Fall??

Quote about Brad @ 07/16/2008 at 2:47 pm

Soderbergh compares Pitt to Steve McQueen, and that seems right: on top of Pitt’s looks, it’s the McQueen air of not-so-studied negligence that’s so attractive, the what-me-worry nonchalance, the centeredness, the at-homeness in his own skin. “I don’t think he gets credit for being as good as he is,” says Soderbergh. “In terms of movie-star performances, I thought he was as good in Snatch as McQueen ever was. It was a really star performance in the best sense of the word, absolutely riveting and charismatic, funny. If another actor had given that performance who didn’t look like Brad, it would have been talked about much more. I found him in Ocean’s 11 to be a really terrific actor, with really good instincts, a really good sense of timing, and an ease that I don’t think you can fake.”

Leo said in one interview he was glad the days where the mini van used to follow him for his looks are gone.

Paul walker was up for this movie and he should have got it not Brad!

Quote about Brad @ 07/16/2008 at 2:50 pm

“He’s gotten away with it because you can’t take your eyes off him,” says Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of A Beautiful Mind and producer of Mr. And Mrs. Smith. “The feeling Brad conveys on-screen is that you’re sharing a secret. There’s this humor that is like grace, that says, ‘I’m watching the world the way you are.’ The finest actors convey that on-screen.”

Quote about Brad @ 07/16/2008 at 2:53 pm

“Brad Pitt is one of those people who transcends box-office success and the failures of his movies; he’s box-office impervious,” says Doug Liman. “We all love him—all of America. We don’t all want to go see some of the movies he chooses to make, because he makes bold choices, but he’s trying to push himself.”

I agree, but I have to admit I’ve only seen Leo in The Departed. I thought he did a wonderful job. I’ve seen most of the movies you listed for Brad and I think he’s the whole package as an actor.

“He doesn’t care what he looks like, doesn’t care what people think about the part,” says Steven Soderbergh, who directed Pitt in the upcoming Ocean’s 11. “I don’t think there’s anybody of that stature who even comes close to taking the risks that he’s taken. He’s absolutely fearless.”

Ummm…why are you guys congratulating Brad? No one has said he’s doing this movie. Just that Tarantino went to France to see if he could talk him into it. Brad is supposed to start shooting “The Fighter” in October. I could be wrong, but I doubt he’ll dump a second Aronofsky project after what happened with “The Fountain”.

Finally, I agree with you. I think that Brad has always wanted to do something else than movies in which he looks nice. More so now, that he has made enough and has taken on different roles besides acting, and not only in show bussiness.
I like Leo too. I liked his work since he was in his teens.
Even if they are blonde and more or less the same “type”, their appeal is different and I cannot compare, I’d go watch a good Leo movie and the same goes for Brad.
I love that Brad goes for drama and comedy too, that he chooses work in different ranges, and is not afraid of acting “weird” or ugly in a movie.

Good for Tarantino, he is not my favorite director, but I like his casting choices and I was impressed by pulp fiction, I had never seen a movie like that before (action movie fan, not gore and horror here) I have to see the Kill Bill movies yet.

Why is there even a Brad vs. Leo debate here? My goodness, why does one have to compare to the other? They are both good actors and they will probably do well together on screen.

Both of them have taken on such different roles throughout their careers that I don’t understand the comparisons you are all giving. Is it necessary to have to claim one is more superior than the other?

Take it as it is- 2 good actors possibly working together. I think it will be a quite interesting combination of actors.

I don’t get it. Why is it that it’s always the same actors getting all these roles. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. I’m kind of sick of seeing them. I do not think that they’re all that great. They always play the same kind of characters, so predictable. I would really like to see Jude Law getting some of these roles. He is by far much more attractive (desirable) with more charisma, and he can play different type of characters.

Just my 2 canadian cents.

God, keep blessing and watching over the Jolie-Pitt family.

@ 106

Yep you’re right! Paul was up for the role and he should have gotten it.

Tarantino is a celebaholic and always likes to use big celebrity names in his so so movies. He does this to distract the audience from his poor scripts to make it seem like his movies are bigger than they really are. Granted he has a great sense of style with a 70s edge in his movies that really grabs your attention, but his scripts lack any real depth. I still enjoy watching his movies though, great action. Rodriguez is the real genius behind their scripts. If it’s just Tarantino on his own, the script usually sucks. If it’s Tarantino partnered with Rodriguez, it’s usually pretty awesome.

Truthfully I don’t believe Pitt is really Tarantino’s style as an actor. He’s most likely using Brad, because of all the recent attention to Pitt and Jolie’s newborns.

Paul didn’t get this role and thats sad, but I see it as he lucked out. He shouldn’t waste his talent on a crappy script from Tarantino, I’m sure a better opportunity will come around soon enough.

“And how do either of you Rhodes Scholars know which is the better role? Only a handful of people have read the script and there’s no way in hell you’re one of them. Notice I didn’t say “either of you”…cuz I think we all know these posts were written by the same person. The lengths you trolls go to to make it seem like there are more than 1 or 2 of you cracks me up. Sybil had 16 personalities but when she died she only died once. Write that down. We’ll be quizzing you later.”

F_cktard. The script was leaked. That’s HOW I know (IMO) which role is better.

brad always plays against type, he is just so good looking it’s not funny, but, what i like about brad and shows how smart he really is, he does not use his looks, i agree with the steve mcqueen comment, but also he reminds me of so many other greats, but i don’t care how good looking he is, if he was not a great actor he would not still be here , so many good looking actors have come and gone, brad has substance. he is going to be here a while.

Brad and Leo together? @ 07/16/2008 at 3:14 pm

Yum yum yum…

I don’t get it. Why is it that it’s always the same actors getting all these roles. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. I’m kind of sick of seeing them.

I read somewhere if Brad takes this role, he will the highest pay actor in HW.

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

For all the morons who don’t get what we’re saying - Nikke Finke at Deadlinehollywood.com wrote yesterday that basically the reason no studio has snapped up the foreign distrubution rights to this films is that they’re waiting to see if Tarantino can convince Brad to do the movie. If Brad is in, then every one of the 5 studios approached is going to want to distribute the film. Clearly TPTB in HW know something the trolls don’t - Brad’s name above the title puts butts in seats, especially in foreign markets. If these losers would take 2 minutes to check out the foreign BO for AOJJ they’ll see it was 3 times the US take…in rought the same number or fewer theaters.

Apparently this lot of dumbbells are too stupid to understand that the majority of BO earnings, nearly 2/3 in most cases, on any more these days is FOREIGN BOX OFFICE.

Here are some numbers for Brad that illustrate why these studios are waiting to see if he signs up for this movie. Note the much larger take at foreign BOs. THEY LOVE BRAD PITT OVERSEAS!

Being born in France does not automatically confer citizenship. One would think that if you use the internet you would perform some basic research. Ignorance is not bliss.

Knox and Vivienne are American citizens by virtue of their parents being American citizens, just born abroad like many other American citizens. Like John McCain was born in Panama of American parents, and was an American citizen at birth as are the Jolie-Pitt twins.

Why are so many poorly educated people in this thread???

Brad has never said he takes a year off. It was Angie. You are the dumbest troll.

that Brad signs up but Tarenrino has so rude timing

Brad got a Golden Globe and got a Oscar nomination. He is a very good actor.

Brad Pitt is an okay actor but more popular for his personal life than anything else. Leo on the other hand is a fantastic actor who is much more respected as such in the industry than Brad.

I do hope this movie happens with the 2 of them in it though.

Leo has gotten way more nominations and awards than Pitt. Because he is way better actor.

just look how popular brad is , even people who claim not to like him fill up his thread in no time, i tell ya, the man is powerful, brad is still the man. hehehe

leo and brad are both good actors. leo is famous for his personal life too. if he didn’t date a string of victoria secret models his name would be mentioned less as well.

Leo is overrated and Brad is underrated. Brad is a fine actor. He should have had Oscar for Snatch and Babel. Brilliant performance in these two movies.

lara,i disagree with you,i think he is a very good actor,but because of his looks he is underestimated and overlooked,he is respected by people who know his worth

Paul has done a few not so great movies, but his acting skills are really good. He could pull off an Oscar worthy role… Flags of our Father… But obviously that’s not really his style. I believe he has done good things in the past and could do great things in the future.

ITA.

Soderbergh compares Pitt to Steve McQueen, and that seems right: on top of Pitt’s looks, it’s the McQueen air of not-so-studied negligence that’s so attractive, the what-me-worry nonchalance, the centeredness, the at-homeness in his own skin. “I don’t think he gets credit for being as good as he is,” says Soderbergh. “In terms of movie-star performances, I thought he was as good in Snatch as McQueen ever was. It was a really star performance in the best sense of the word, absolutely riveting and charismatic, funny. If another actor had given that performance who didn’t look like Brad, it would have been talked about much more. I found him in Ocean’s 11 to be a really terrific actor, with really good instincts, a really good sense of timing, and an ease that I don’t think you can fake.”

Leonardo DiCaprio Tipped For The Jew Hunter in Inglorious ********. Meh.
Posted on Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am by: Hunter Stephenson

Hopefully, I’ll have a script review of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious ******** in shortly. After marinating on it for a few days, I don’t feel that it’s the knock out of the park that’s been widely reported. One character vital to the script that suffers from weird incongruities is the main antagonist, Colonel Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter.” The trades now report that QT will be in talks this week with Leonardo DiCaprio for the role. Last week, Brad Pitt was said to be in talks for the lead role of Lieutenant Aldo Raine, an American soldier from Tennessee who is an out-and-out shitkicker and Nazi nightmare.

Below, I’m going to discuss the parts they’re up for, but it’s spoiler-free. Watch out for the comments, though.

Pitt’s casting would be spot on for the part. We’ve seen him go convincingly gruff and murderous in Fight Club, Se7en, and he can lay on a thick accent, as seen in A River Runs Through It. He’s the right age to play a leader and mythical father figure to his fellow squad of “********.” But while I’m a fan of DiCaprio’s work, he’s just not right for The Jew Hunter, especially if he’s facing off with Pitt. All talent aside, this movie needs to veer away from pretty men. No offense, pretty men. Landa already borders on caricature on the page—he’s also not scary enough for the head ambitious Nazi doosh when the plot’s stakes go high—and while DiCaprio cleans up well and has the eugenics down, let’s face it: Pitt’s Aldo would squash DiCaprio’s Landa with his hands tied. Think the macho mismatch that was Bill the Butcher and DiCaprio’s Amsterdam in Gangs of New York, if Amsterdam rarely got his hands dirty.

These characters need to be equally deadly and even matched for the sake of creating nail biting, if pulpy, tension. DiCaprio would be fine (ironically enough) for the super powered world of Captain America, but anchoring the nastier side of a WWII juggernaut? Not so much. This is not a case where Brains vs Brawn will do the trick. I want to hate Landa’s guts and fear him, not wonder if my girlfriend is having a better time.

55 catherine @ 07/16/2008 at 1:52 pm

Quentin Tarantino desperately wants Brad Pitt. He flew to France to meet Brad. This doesn’t happen very often. Brad’s career is so hot.

You can say that again!
I guess QT went to France because he knows Brad is busy admiring his new babies for a while. Also, QT gets to see Miraval and drink the wine.

ROTFLMBAO. Damn. You trolls are getting more ridiculous as the day goes on. Brad doesn’t have Botox in this picture, dipshit. Here’s a clue for you - HE’S FROWNING. When you’ve had Botox injections in your face you can’t frown. He is, however, wearing makeup. Hence the decreased appearance of the lines around his eyes.

Furthermore, do we need to have a lesson on the different kinds of lighting and how that affects what the camera picks up? Because, doofus, in your previous picture at post #120, Brad is sitting under florescent lights INSIDE. In the picture above, it was TAKEN AT NIGHT, OUTSIDE, WITH ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING. Therefore decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Duh.

the incredible Edward! @ 07/16/2008 at 4:23 pm

Leo’s baby looks get in the way of his acting imo. Having said that, I think he is v. good in his last films.

Pitt always had talent… growing up and loosing the baby handsome looks allowed people to see that more clearly. He IS a very good actor, no matter what worshipers or haters say.

Now, what I am really worried about is Tarantino. Like others posted I don’t think he has done anything exceptional lately.

Helena @ 07/16/2008 at 1:15 pm

I realize Leo hates that he did the movie, but that doesn’t absolve him of cashing the check. Which, for my money, is all he did in that movie - show up and cash the check…for 3 of the longest fcuking hours of my life that I’ll NEVER get back. But I’m not bitter…

NO Leo @ 07/16/2008 at 4:08 pm

I hope Leo will not be in the movie. I don’t get his appeal whatsoever. He does nothing to me. Something about him turns me off.
———–
It’s the look that he has that says ‘ i’m all that’. That’s what turns you off. I think “Titanic” went to his head and it just kept swelling. lol.

Preach the truth. Paul Walker was NEVER up for this movie or this role.

Truthfully I didn’t even know who he was until I looked him up in the IMDB. To me he’s just “that guy who was in The Fast & TheFurious with BigGayVinnie.”

i have blood diamond and the departed DVDs i like Leo but the haters had to pounce on this Brad thread using Leo as an excuse just to start trouble like always.
I think having Brad and Leo in one movie will be a win /win situation.
but i love Brad best.

I do too! I hope this QT movie will be made and then we can see and buy the DVD! :smile:

This is totally rad! I’ve always thought a Tarantino-Pitt combination would be the coolest thing. I’m so glad it’s finally happening! Awesome! Brad is really coming out as an actor. He is taking challenges and having fun. Can his life get any better. Love him!

Angelina the most HATED Actress and the most LOVED actress = Biggest Movie Star In the world

Brad loved by his fans but other than that folks don’t give two ***** about him = A boring mediocre actor

Leonardo DiCaprio Tipped For The Jew Hunter in Inglorious ********. Meh.
Posted on Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 at 11:37 am by: Hunter Stephenson

Hopefully, I’ll have a script review of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious ******** in shortly. After marinating on it for a few days, I don’t feel that it’s the knock out of the park that’s been widely reported. One character vital to the script that suffers from weird incongruities is the main antagonist, Colonel Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter.” The trades now report that QT will be in talks this week with Leonardo DiCaprio for the role. Last week, Brad Pitt was said to be in talks for the lead role of Lieutenant Aldo Raine, an American soldier from Tennessee who is an out-and-out shitkicker and Nazi nightmare.

Below, I’m going to discuss the parts they’re up for, but it’s spoiler-free. Watch out for the comments, though.

Pitt’s casting would be spot on for the part. We’ve seen him go convincingly gruff and murderous in Fight Club, Se7en, and he can lay on a thick accent, as seen in A River Runs Through It. He’s the right age to play a leader and mythical father figure to his fellow squad of “********.” But while I’m a fan of DiCaprio’s work, he’s just not right for The Jew Hunter, especially if he’s facing off with Pitt. All talent aside, this movie needs to veer away from pretty men. No offense, pretty men. Landa already borders on caricature on the page—he’s also not scary enough for the head ambitious Nazi doosh when the plot’s stakes go high—and while DiCaprio cleans up well and has the eugenics down, let’s face it: Pitt’s Aldo would squash DiCaprio’s Landa with his hands tied. Think the macho mismatch that was Bill the Butcher and DiCaprio’s Amsterdam in Gangs of New York, if Amsterdam rarely got his hands dirty.

These characters need to be equally deadly and even matched for the sake of creating nail biting, if pulpy, tension. DiCaprio would be fine (ironically enough) for the super powered world of Captain America, but anchoring the nastier side of a WWII juggernaut? Not so much. This is not a case where Brains vs Brawn will do the trick. I want to hate Landa’s guts and fear him, not wonder if my girlfriend is having a better time.

BBBBBWWWWWWWHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this! Can you post the link, too?

Where’s that troll who was going on about how much better an actor Leo is than Brad? Cuz here’s at least one person who doesn’t agree!

BBBBBWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Talk about a bunch of stupid idiots.These jealous asses follow these good people around.The x is gone from this mans life.Get over it.He left because he did not want to spend his life with her.Damn the x has her man.And she seems happy.Are your asses so jealous because Angie and Brad have babies.The x can have baby by mayer, go ask her to have baby ,or go to mayers thread beg him to give your idol a baby.But honestly i don’t think the x will ever want to have baby.she has problems she smokes,drinks and she hates her mother and relatives she has big time mental problems,just like you fans trashing Brad and Angie.People read comment and think, the x and her jealous fans.you don’t look good.

Thanks for the new thread Just Jared. There must be Agents representatives posting on these threads. Paul Walker, hmmm okay. Folks always want to pit(no pun intended) BP against other male stars. From ZacChace, Leo, Ryan, Tom, **** and Harry, it is always a contest for some. BP produced Departed which Leo starred in. Believe it or not, male stars can work together in Hollyweird. It is only on the blogs, where the hens, teens and know it all want to battle. Best wishes to BP and AJ. They must be very happy with the arrival of the twins and all their children.. I am sure that they will work their schedules out, whatever roles BP may or may not take, and roll as a family. Peace to all.

To Jaye @ 07/16/2008 at 4:30 pm

WTF! Who are you!!! You Dont know enough about leo’s work?? What country are you from, what actor other can Brad do you like??? First you dont like bale and havent seen any of his work now leo also!? Do you watch anything other can Brad Pitt movies? You just started coming on here and all you do is come across and a Jill & PT wannabe! Go to Block Buster and Shut it!
————————–
Why are you all upset because I don’t want to see a Leo Dicaprio or Christain Bale movie? There are some people who live all their lives not seeing movies with certain actors in them. Are you the movie police? Are you their agent? Manager? You’re all hot and bother about nothing. Sheesh

I didn’t say i don’t like Bale. I said i don’t watch his movies. There’s a difference. If you ‘re going to follow me about this site, quoting me, make sure you get it right. If you don’t like how I ‘come across’ don’t read what i have to say. That’s should be easy even for a d-u-m-b-a-s-s like you. ‘

You really do need to pace yourself, else you’ll have a heart attack. As to whether I watch anything other than Brad Pitt Movies, what’s that got to do with anything? We are discussing Brad Pitt and Leo Dicaprio here, aren’t we? It would be strange for me to bring up OTHER actors and their movies. I was on subject when making my comments. You’re not as stupid as your comments, are you? Please tell me you aren’t.

It would be nice if you identified your silly self. But I can’t blame you for wanting to remain anonymous. Taking someone to task because they don’t want to see a Christian Bale or Leo DiCaprio movie is the height of idiocy .

I’d like to see them on film together it would be really interesting. I think Brad admires Leo for the film choices he has made latey and I had already thought it was time they worked together. They are both talented actors. I thought Leo was great in Departed but haven’t gone to see anything else at the cinema since Titanic, I like him but it’s the film itself that has to appeal to me. Brad on the other hand I would go watch him in a commercial! I think most fans of his are the same. He is BRAD freaking PITT and always will be. He is the draw, we want to watch HIS performance even if it is supporting for a few minutes. I saw the oceans films for Brad, 11 was crap I wouldn’t have gone back and pay £’s to watch 13 but for Brad. I think Brad could have played all of the Leo roles I wonder if Leo could have played the Brad roles. though. Think about that those who think he is not a great actor.He makes it look easy.

Brad Pitt lends a hand to CHS employee

HARRISON SMITH 16.JUL.08
A Clayton High School custodian and his wife soon will be able to return home to New Orleans thanks to the good will of actor Brad Pitt and his Make It Right project.

Pitt has teamed up with architects and engineers to help rebuild New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the city in 2005.

One New Orleans couple, Baxter Barnes and his wife, Melba, ended up in Clayton after evacuating their home in the Lower Ninth Ward before Katrina struck. Pitt and his organization selected the Barneses as a family that would benefit from their rebuilding efforts.

The Barneses followed the news closely in the week leading up to that infamous Sunday morning in August 2005. They tracked the hurricane as it began approaching their hometown.

After seeing the news coverage and hearing the experts’ predictions, they decided to leave their home and head north to Baton Rouge, to the home of their daughter and son-in-law.

“Some people said that they were used to going through hurricanes and were going to be fine,” Baxter Barnes said. “We wanted to get out of there. We knew it was going to be bad.”

When the Barneses left New Orleans to head upstate, the usual 45-minute drive took 14 hours due to the heavy traffic.

“I figured that there would be a lot of traffic, but I didn’t think that it would take us 14 hours to get there,” Barnes said. “They opened up both sides of the road so that all of the lanes were going the same direction.”

Baxter and his wife remained in Baton Rouge for a week, but on Sept. 4, they moved to Fayetteville, the hometown of his son-in-law.

While staying there, Baxter met Clayton High’s then-Principal Jerry Smith, who had heard Barnes’ story and offered him a job at the school.

“Everybody in this area was really nice and helpful. Some churches took us to Wal-Mart and bought us food and whatever we need for our house,” Barnes said. “Even the teachers and CHS volunteered to help with whatever we needed.”

However, there was a bureaucratic mix-up with the county, and Barnes was forced to stop working for the school.

Smith took his case to Johnston County Schools Superintendent Anthony Parker, and eventually they worked it out so that Baxter could continue working despite not meeting all of the qualifications necessary for the position.

Barnes was very thankful to Smith for his efforts.

Smith praised Barnes’ work ethic and personality.

“He’s just a great guy and a super worker,” Smith said. “I knew his situation, and when I talked to the people [in the schools system], I told them, ‘Let’s do what we have to do to make this happen.’”

Smith said he was sad to hear that Barnes would be leaving but that he was happy for him.

“If we could find 20 just like him, we could have the cleanest schools in the state,” he said.

Last month, the Barneses were watching television in their Smithfield home when the phone rang. Baxter looked at the caller ID to see who it was as his wife answered the phone. He stood there in shock while his wife talked to Brad Pitt.

“My wife said he was real concerned and sincere,” said Barnes. “Brad told her, ‘We are going to do this, and we are going to do it right.’”

Pitt called a second time and reassured them that his organization was going to rebuild their home.

The Make It Right project aims to construct homes that reflect the cultural influences of pre-Katrina styles. Architects were called in from all over world to design houses that would help preserve the history and traditions of the area while making them environmentally sound.

Kieran Timberlake Associates out of Pennsylvania designed the Barneses’ new home. It has many new features – such as solar panels – but is made to withstand floods and hurricanes. The home rests on stilts that are designed to move with the motion of the Earth.

The MIR project is headed by Pitt but operates on donations and volunteers. It continues to ask for support to meet its goal of building 150 homes.

Since the conversations with Pitt and Make It Right representatives, the Barneses have been preparing to return home.

While Barnes and his wife are ready to head back to New Orleans, Barnes’ co-workers are not looking forward to seeing him leave.

“We are going to miss Baxter,” said fellow CHS custodian Timothy Pharr. “I hate to see him go.”

The Barneses will leave July 31 to reconstruct their old lives in the Lower Ninth Ward. They have contacted their old employers and plan to return to their jobs at Slidell High School in New Orleans.

“Some people ask why we would go back to the place where we lost everything. Well, I say life is about taking chances,” Barnes said.

did someone post pitt’s numbers to impress… lmaooo if so they failed. nothing impressive about his movie total.

oceans - clooney’s. w/ an entire cast of a-listed.
mr & mrs smith - angelina jolie. who will was, is, and always will be a bigger star than her sperm-donor.

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

Don’t be an idiot all your life, Fuggy. The point wasn’t to compare Brad to other actors like Will Smith or Tom Cruise in his heyday. I purposefully left the 3 Oceans flick off because although Brad WAS a major BO draw for those movies, they weren’t technically his movie. If you don’t think that’s the case, then you need to keep in mind that when the first 2 Oceans moves were made Matt Damon had ONE lead role which had made $100MIL and that was partially due to Robin Williams’ presence.

The first Bourne movie wasn’t out yet when O11 was made. It came out in 2002. It did well at the BO, but it didn’t exactly do much for Damon’s career and if you don’t believe, then think about the movies he made next - Stuck On You, EuroTrip and cameos in movies by Porgie & B. Affleck. The Bourne Surpremacy came out in the summer of 2004 - as O12 was being filmed. It did a bit better at the BO, but still under $300MIL total.

The fact is - Brad was THE major draw of the Oceans movies. Brad is the ONLY one of the three to get a $20+ points deal. Porgie also made money as a producer, but he didn’t walk away from those 3 movies with nearly the loot that Brad did. Do you want me to post Porgie’s pathetic BO numbers? Because I can do that if you want me to beat my point deeper into your numskull.

I could post the numbers all day, but you’re only going to believe what you want to believe. If you go look at Porige’s BO, Matt Damon’s BO WITHOUT THE OCEANS TOTALS…they don’t come close to Brad’s movies - especially not internationally. With Matt Damon you also have to subtract big movies that he only had minor/supporting parts in - like Courage Under Fire & Saving Private Ryan.

If your criteria for comparing Brad is Will Smith or Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford & Eddie Murphy in their heydays, then no, Brad’s numbers aren’t as good. Then again, Brad hasn’t spent his career making mindless crowd pleasers and action romps. BUT…ask any movie studio head who they’d rather cast right now - Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. We both know the answer to that and it ain’t “Tiny Tom”.

Wanted Movie to Become a Wanted Game
Jul 16, 2008 at 8:17 AM - Gary Mclean - 2 Comments
GRIN is developing a game based on the recent Angelina Jolie hit movie Wanted:

Swedish developer Grin is currently working with Universal on a tie-in to the Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman action movie Wanted.
The movie has taken over USD 192 million at the box office since release. The game will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

“From the time we read the script and saw the film’s pre-visual material, it was clear that Wanted was a powerful property – one that was well poised to deliver an engaging gaming experience,” commented Bill Kispert, VP and general manager for Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group.

This shows how Brad follows through on his comittments, he does not walk away as some do. He is Making It Right just as he promised.

When I looked Paul Walker up in the IMDB I saw he was in a movie with Jason Lewis…you know, the guy from SATC that DIDN”T date X? Hell…until I saw that I THOUGHT WERE THE SAME GUY! LOL! The first thing you see after the search is a picture of the person. All I saw was blond hair and teeth and figured the guy from SATC must’ve been in the Vin Diesel flick, too. Come to find out it’s 2 different guys! They could be brothers if not twins.

Leo Di is OK, but not enough to get me to the cinema unless Brad is in it too.

As for Paul Walker, never heard of him.

Thanks Jared.

I admire Brad as an actor, as a producer, as an artist, as a humanitarian, as a partner and as a father. He is everything. He is all.

Personally I would love too see what will happen with Tarantino directing Leo and Brad.
I think Bras has been underestimated because of his looks and that he is starting to be more appreciated for his acting. though I have loved him since Thelm and Louise.
And I think that Leo has grown out of his looks and into a better actor loved him in Blood diamond.
and I thought KIll Bill was amazing, so I am not sure I agree that QT has lost his touch. Glad that he his moving into a different genre though. Historical war movie QT style could be very interesting.

Hello beautiful JP fans! I hope you’re all having a wonderful day. Just checking for news about the lovely JP family.

Liars and more liars @ 07/16/2008 at 3:34 pm

Keep your pants on, honey. Brad hasn’t accepted the part yet. And he never said anything about taking a year off.

Angie did say she was taking a year off and she is taking it off now. The problem with you trolls is you read words and don’t understand what they mean. Your reading comprehension sucks. You read that she is taking a year off and immediately you assumed she was taking a year off right then and there, and then you get an attitude and call her a liar when she didn’t. Angie was contracted to do three movies when she said she was taking a year off. Once she finished them (Beowulf, KPF and Wanted, all hits incidentally), thenshe stopped working. She hasn’t worked on anything since last summer.

Uggg, I want to fix my comment, I meant to ask are children still considered the “B” word if parents aren’t married. I shouldn’t type and hit submit so fast. If so, that should not be the case in today’s society. It is ironic if they are called that, when no child should be labled that way. I hope that’s clear.

Brad and Angie and the kids’ are all lucky to be able to give so much and receive so much. I’m sure their kids are happy and well taken care of.

a B-a-s-t-a-r-d is a child born to parents who are not married or not married to each other. Although most people out of politically correctness are shy about using it, it still is a word with that stated meaning. The word itself is not derogatory, there are ignorant people who use it as such. People ’s perception of words and words themselves sometimes change over time. ******* can also refer to an unpleasant person. :-).

Nobody’s fault but the knife wielder. Why blame a movie star for a tragedy she knew nothing about. People were just trying to pin something on anybody…what better target than somebody famous. I don’t even think that Angie’s obstetrician had anything to do with the emergency room. They should sue the doctor that treated him there if they have a grievance.

Where the fcuk is this world coming to…

Fake famous, most of Brad Pitt movies that made a lot are because of the rest of the cast. HE CANNOT CARRY A movie on his!

Look @ Will smiths numbers and he has made less movies and has been acting for a shorter amount of time than Brad pitt. Plus will smith is usually the main guy carrying the movie.

Total Grosses $2,416,768,967 $5,321,431,591
Average Gross $127,198,367

242……BRAD PITT HAS ALWAYS been a box office draw….and when you’ve maintained the interest of the public for almost 20 years….come back and open your trap then D*U*M*B*A*S*S!!!!…

….Every major star is PAIRED UP with other actors on screen….but a major test of whether you can hold the publics interest is whether they are interested in your critical sucess, box office success, AND seem to be interested in your personal life no matter WHO you are dating….THAT’S our BP!!!….he increases the status of whomever he pairs up with professionally AND personally…..look at how Casey Affleck was nominated for awards after the JESSIE JAMES movie….and over the years ALL of the women Brad has dated were suddenly hounded by the press after dating or being seen with him…

That is because Will Smith’s movies are about Superhero and Alien. This kind of movie is always BO hit no matter who is in it.

Jaye,

Isn’t it strange that legally children are still considered “B-A-S-T-A-R-D-S” if born out of wedlock considering how much the world has changed? Or should I say, society has changed. Anyway, I have one granddaughter and she legally is considered a “B” child. Mom and dad are together just not married, plans are that they will marry, someday….But, I despise the term and think about how legally she is considered this. I also hadn’t thought of the fact, that it’s really not a derrogatory term, it’s just how it’s used.

Anyway….that’s why I shouldn’t post messages, I try to post short ones, they don’t come out right. I post long ones and they don’t make much sense either.

Thanks for the response!

Go Leo! I read the script and the role is very challening. And I mean VERY challenging. He’s called the Jew Hunter! Scary.

I know this subject will be swarmed with annoying Brangelina fans now, but are there any other Leo fans?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Helena,

I really liked Leo DiCaprio in Departed. That ending took me by surprise.

Where did you find the script for this upcoming film? I would be interested in reading it.

bdj @ 07/16/2008 at 5:13 pm Last month, the Barneses were watching television in their Smithfield home when the phone rang. Baxter looked at the caller ID to see who it was as his wife answered the phone. He stood there in shock while his wife talked to Brad Pitt.

So Brad’s name came up on Caller ID. I wonder if his phone number also showed. I’m debating if I would try calling the number if I had it. Anyway Brad and Make It Right are doing a good thing. Thanks for posting the article.

I read that Mario Testino is in Paris working with Reece W. Wouldn’t it be great if he went to see Angelina and took some pics of the family. The ones he did of Brad, Angelina, Maddox and Zahara were great.

“My decision to take on a film is not calculated in terms of its potential success. It’s all a crap shoot to me,” he says. “I really don’t bet on the horses. I just go with the story that speaks to me, that I feel strongly about and, more importantly, with the people I’m surrounded by. I don’t even care about aiming for a bigger audience. I come from the belief that all good films find a time and place, whether it’s on the opening weekend or sometime later.”

Dicraprio @ 07/16/2008 at 8:23 pm

LOL Because of Titanic. Guess what Kate Winslet has good numbers too based on that one movie.

Leo & Brad! woo hoo what a great pair to headline a film. I love it. I don’t really love Quentin Tarantino though and his movies. But these two are so beyond box office is just ridiculous. I really love where Leo’s head is at in terms of making movies. He says no to obvious blockbusters like that “awful” (his words) Titanic and does more niche films. Good for him. Brad has been moving in that direction for a while. He alternates between box office junk food and niche art house movies.

Thanks JJ.

I’m so glad that this PT showed us the link that all of his films did way better outside of America than IN America.

Though Grindhouse did poorly OUTSIDE of America too. It did better IN America but it cost $65 million to make and brought back unler $9 million (I think).

SUPERFLOP.

Tarantino has lost his touch. His movie in Grindhouse was absolutely AWFUL.

And I suspect that if they do get some foreign money into this film that Brad will only get $5 million for it, because he can’t pull people in since TROY, and that flopped here. Babel flopped here.

They did better oversease, but I don’t think Tarantino is the golden boy anymore, neither is Leo, nor Pitt. These are like 3 old men who used to be the “it” people making a MOVIE together to try and get the “old magic” again.

But it won’t work.

There are so many other BETTER directors around!

The game isn’t played like it used to be, not even from 2 years ago when Pitt released Babel.

LOL so where are the #s for Ass of JJ???

the real tita @ 07/16/2008 at 8:43 pm

#263: Most of the Will Smith movies were courtesy of CGI. Name the movies he made without them and then count the revenue. He became famous for Independence Day and Men in Black. After that, it was all about the robots and aliens…all about the running. All he’s ever done is run…chase or be chased. Did he make BO when he made that remake of Wild Wild West or that movie with him as a homeless man with his son?

Please…..he may not have had some big names with him but he sure had big computer images that the public lapped up.

the mexican really really spoke to him. big star Julia money maker roberts had nothing to do with it. didn’t that movie bomb anyway?

Uh Leo is a wonderful actor who started out as a child actor. He was great from go. Leo is not overrated. What people are confusing as over rated are the fangirls frenzy (like Zac Efron now) and the media’s high school like obsession during the Titanic era. It made people not concentrate on Leo’s prior works.

I hope Brad does less commercial movies cuz he doen’t need to prove anything. Leave that pressure to the up and comers who don’t have a track record yet. Good luck with that.

Will Smith set out in Hollywood to do only certain kinds of movies. It’s no secret. Will Smith has branded himself as the superhero/special effects actor. He needs to do less of that now and more of The Pursuit of Happyness.

Tom Cruise let the outside interfere with his movie persona. There was bad pr representation and he is being played by a cult. He will. eventually find his way back but not for a while.

George Clooney is a favorite on Just jared. LOL. The media and fanboys are in love with his perceived persona which is why he is percieved as an overrated actor, awards aside. This only shows how hungry and thirsty the public is for the old fashioned movie star quality that Clooney can at times manifest. Serth Rogan, Mike Myers, and Vince Vaughn are not what comes to mind when you hear the words movie idol no matter now much money they make or their movies make. So the search still continues for that suave traditional matinee idol. Look for a reality show coming soon for this search. LOL

You do realize that the overseas market makes up roughly 63% of a HW movies gross these days. Only 37% is made in the U.S.A. And there are few actors/actresses that are huge overseas. Brad happens to be one of the biggest HW actors overseas/world wide.

In the last 3 years he’s had 3 hit movies. M&MS, Babel made over 100 million overseas and everyone assoc. with that movie, credits Brad as the reasons why. The movie had subtitles and it still made 135M and cost 22-25M to make.

With movie production costs so high, the studios will only fund big budget movies for stars with World Wide appeal. That’s where they make most of their money. That’s why a lot of the studios are now handling WW distribution, instead of partnering up with an overseas dist. company.

Will Smith has been very open and honest about his movie strategy. He and his manager did a lot of research to find out which movies made the most money. Action movies and movies involving aliens and that’s the track he took. He makes no apologies about it and he shouldn’t. It’s worked out well for him.

ROTFLMAO. You fcukin’ moron - Leo is a BAD EXAMPLE! Leo was in “Titanic”. Titanic gross over $1.8 BILLION by itself worldwide. That means that the rest of Leon’s movies TOGETHER grossed less than half of “Titanic”! Next time try doing the math BEFORE you make a fool of yourself, please.

Titanic -

Worldwide - $1,848,813,795
Domestic - $ 600,788,188

Leo’s Domestic Total - $1,334,472,572 (minus Titanic = $ 733,684,384)

LOL. Now way is Brad only going to get $5MIL for this movie if he does it. The studios are practically salivating at the prospect of Brad doing this movie. He’s got them in the position Russell Crowe had Universal in after Brad walked away from SOP. Brad will pull down his usualy salary of $20-25MIL + points. I’ve been reading some of the movie websites and they all seem pretty sure that Brad can write his own paycheck if he signs up for this movie. Personally I still have trouble believing he’ll work with Harvey Weinstein. Brad lives with Angie and 6 kids…Tarantino he can handle with both arms tied behind his back.

But from what I have read about him, he is an actor of merit as well.

Great post, O2, and excellent point about Will Smith. For instance - last week Will revealed that he’d been asked to play Superman in the revival of the series and turned it down. His reasoning? “You don’t mess with white people’s heroes.” Will said he was very much aware of the limitations of what kinds of movies people will accept him in and expect to see him in…and Superman wasn’t one of them. That’s like Brad saying he turned down Spiderman because it’s not the type of movie he’s interested in doing, but it’s also not something his fans want to see him in.

i am really surprise that CSI is letting petersen go,i really donot know how the show will be without him.

Hey PT. How ya doing? Doesn’t matter how long you’re away, it’s the same s h i t, different day. LOL.

Will Smith has made no bones about saying, he set out to become the biggest movie star in the world. After Wild West bombed so badly, he’s also admitted to being afraid and that’s why he agreed to do both Men in Black 2 and Bad Boys 2. The first installments were successful and that’s what he went back to. Being safe. Like, I said, it’s worked out well for him and it’s gotten him where he wanted to be and good for him.

David Fincher once said of Brad, that you never know what you’re going to get from him because he doesn’t like doing the same kinds of things over again. That’s why I was surprised that Brad did O12 and 013. He turned down both The Matrix and the first Bourne movie because they wanted a sequel clause in the contract and he didn’t want to do sequels.

I always have to laugh at those that say Troy bombed. Sucker made 497M at the ww box office and at least another 250M in rentals and sales world wide. Yep, big bomb. LMAO! And I hated Troy.

#310: PT, I think Brad’s working with Weinstein means he’s really all done with the Paltry. That’s like a smack in the face of the woman. It shows he feels nothing anymore…no anger, no resentment, just plain indifference.

I bet Brad is asking for a blank check just as QT has offered. Money is money and he’s got mouths to feed.

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

Brad’s been “all done” with Putrid since he walked away from her. I just think Brad drew a line a long time ago about which sleazebags he’d be willing to compromise about working with if the movie opportunity was good enough. So far it doesn’t seem like there’s been any Weinstein productions that he’s been interested in enough to roll around in the pig sty with Harvey! LOL. It’s not just about Putrid. Harvey Weinstein is a big skeezoid. He makes my flesh crawl just looking at him.

Exactly!!!

James Cameron ‘”Titanic” make Leo and kate a big star , just like Speilberg “Transformer” make Shia and Megan a star. “Titanic” with any leading actors on it will still be a Blockbuster. It’s the movie itself that attract moviegoers not the Actors, thou ,Leo and Kate were so good in their role. I dont’ think Leo and Kate next movie “Revolutionary” will be as successful as the “Titanic”.

Oh, but you forgot that Brad made these very uninspired movies, back when he was a sad, miserable lonely uninspired man who was chained to the no-talent homely TV sit-com hack Jen Aniston. He was a dead man walking, his movies reflected that. They were either bad like the Mexican, or they were last gasps to sustain a career after gross neglect (O13, Troy, etc).

Now Brad is a man operating at the height of his artistic power, as he’s with another artist of the same caliber, he’s in love, he’s a dad, he’s inspired and feeling confident, assured, encouraged by his loved ones (not guilted out as in his hellish Maniston days) and empowered. We the film going public are grateful that Brad Pitt the movie star is BACK, and no longer saddled with a TV sitcom hack at cheesey TV award shows sitting next to Ray Romano. Bahaha :-D Brad is where he belongs, making critically acclaimed and lauded films and hanging with his peers and movie star legends. Not schlepping with the TV hag Aniston, and the Botox Arquettes at cable TV events.

Hey O2 -

Glad to see you back here. And yes, sadly, this place never changes. There’s too many immature internet stalkers out their for any serious changes to occur.

Re: Will Smith - I like Will. I don’t go see all his movies, but I’ve always admired that he was candid about his game plan. Yeah, he’s gotten tangled up with that crazy Scientology crap and he may be in the closet, but Will is Will. His charm has taken him a long way…even when the movies sucked.

And Troy? Don’t even get me started. Movie sucked big time. I’ve never been able to sit through the whole thing at one time. It’s movies like that makes me understand why Brad turned down Bourne & Spidey & Matrix. It’s like the little girl with the curl. It made a ton of cash for the studio (and Brad) and I’m sure the studio would have gladly funded Troy 2 if they thought Brad would do it. Thank God Brad knew better. Frankly the thought of Brad as Neo or Spidey makes me cringe. No offense to Keanu fans, but I’ve seen wooden planks that were more expressive than he is.

The last hit he carried on his own ? what was that 4-5 years ago? lets see how well his upcoming movies do. IMO people are tired of Brad pitt and I doubt they’ll want to pay to see him in anything especially with so many hot young actors out there now. . It was his looks and not talent that kept the momentum going.. now he looks so botoxy. I don’t think he’s that attractive anymore. I think people thought the tabloids were hurting Jolie but I think the tabloids are crashing pitts career faster than you can say Meet joe black tbh.

He is slowly becoming a hasbeen and so is that scary as hell Terentino . People obviously want to see Angelina Jolie Kick ass..proof is the 50 million opening wanted weekend. I want to hear about the first movie Angelina signs on to after these twins. not her sperm donor. Sorry, dudes.

I hope Brad make this movie. Brad , Leo and QT plus a good script = BO hit.

I like Leo DiCaprio and especially his publicist Ken Sunshine. Hi Ken! I can personally say that Ken is one of the best publicists and nicest around.

Could Brad win another award for Burn After reading at the Venice Film Festival? For all you delusional trolls out there:

Brad Pitt: a chameleon who never loses his charm
AFP

Brad Pitt, who became a father again late Saturday when Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins, has shown he can be laid-back or uptight and can carry an indie flick or a blockbuster, but there’s one thing that stands out in his almost two-decades-old career — he’s a charmer.

Born 44 years ago in a middle-class family in Oklahoma, William Bradley Pitt studied journalism and advertising at the University of Missouri before following thousands of young Americans before him and trying his luck in Hollywood.

As for many would-be actors, the early days were tough and Pitt supported himself with a series of part-time jobs, including as a chauffeur and removal man, even dressing up in a chicken suit to advertise a fast-food chain.

But from 1987 the work started to trickle in, with bit parts in television series “Dallas” and “21 Jump Street” and a few low-budget movies.

It was in “Thelma and Louise” (1991) that Pitt got his break, displaying his talent — and half naked body — as the two-bit thief who seduces Geena Davis.

Secondary roles followed in “Kalifornia” (1993) and “True Romance” (1994) and he finally made it top of the bill later that year alongside Tom Cruise in “Interview with a Vampire,” and Anthony Hopkins in “Legends of the Fall.”

If the man People magazine twice named the “sexiest man alive” needed any further affirmation of his talent, he got it with “Seven,” the acclaimed 1995 thriller in which he played a policemen spun along by a serial killer.

The success continued in the following year with Terry Gilliam’s “Twelve Monkeys,” in which Pitt was nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actor.

The high from that accolade did not last long, however, being followed by two commercial flops in 1997, “Seven Years in Tibet” and “The Devil’s Own” with Harrison Ford. The critics were also less than impressed with his pairing with Julia Roberts in “The Mexican” and Robert Redford in “Spy Game,” both in 2001.

But the actor won a new legion of fans alongside Edward Norton in “Fight Club” (1999), and hit the commercial big time two years later as part of a star-studded cast led by George Clooney with the remake of “Ocean’s Eleven.”

Pitt’s position as a Hollywood golden boy was now assured, and his commercial clout was only strengthened by his 2000 marriage to “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston, which made them one of the hottest couples in the world.

If the symbolism of his playing the unstoppable Achilles in Wolfgang Petersen’s “Troy” (2004) was not clear enough, he starred in two other box office smashes that year (”Ocean’s Twelve”) and the next (”Mr and Mrs Smith

The actor scored another hit in “Babel” (2007) but has recently stepped behind the camera and successfully tried his hand at producing. Through his firm “Plan B” he was involved in Martin Scorcese’s Oscar-winner “The Departed” (2006) and “A Mighty Heart” starring Jolie, released the following year.

Still in high demand, Pitt won the Venice Film Festival’s 2007 Volpi cup for best actor for “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” and stars in two upcoming movies — “Benjamin Button,” the story of a man who is born old and gets younger, and “Burn after Reading,” the latest offering from the Coen brothers where he joins forces once again with Clooney.

Oh boy. Jenny-poo better start looking around for Mayer’s replacement before Mayer replaces her.

According to Outa Touch, while he was in Amsterdam, Mayer met a woman he thought was Dutch and said “I am John Mayer, I am a singer.” She turned out to be a writer, Chaton Anderson, from California. She knew he was dating Jen andt asked him what his relationship status was. He said “It’s vague.” She asked him to clarify and he said, “You know, it’s very vague.”

They want the mayor to help them but quiet honestly I don’t know what he can do in this case. In france there’s a lot of tension between muslims and the french. The media are trying to attach brad and angie’s name(manly angie as always) into something that has nothing to do with them

The mayor was only there 1 day not every single day one day and he saved brad the disatrous trip to here he had to sign the birth certificate. Sure the mayor saw a chance to promote his city, just like namibia when the officals saw the chance to promote their country, I don’t blame him for seizing that chance.

I agree the mayor has been acting like a star-struck idiot, but anyone who tries to link a street shooting and a riot to Brad and Angelina and their doctor is living in the Twilight Zone. What on earth do they have to do with any of it? They aren’t to blame if the mayor can’t control his own city. The people of Nice need to tell the mayor to get back to his office and take care of business; that’s what they elected him for.

I’m just concerned about a very ugly undertone of anti-semitism this whole incident is dredging up, know what I’m saying? BTW is the mayor Jewish also?

When a reporter asked if Jolie might appear on “Eli Stone” and if Miller would be willing to call her, the actor replied: “You’ll have to call her, I’m afraid.”
