At least we know that it will be a well funded project...And garner lots of attention.

And my wife will argue less about seeing it...

Been mentioned a number of times in a number of threads, but glad to hear it's moving again.

Hearing the project alive made me happy...hearing brad pitt is going to be the lead though.
 

I can't say I'm happy about it, it depends on how the screenplay turns out though I guess and what aspects of the book it focuses on.

It's probably safe to say they won't be focusing on multiple stories/characters if they want Pitt having all the screen time.

I've always liked Brad Pitt in his "odd" rolls like Fight Club and 12 Monkeys.

So long as he approaches it like that, I think it'll work fine.

My fellow Serpenti,

It was a bidding war between Brad's and Leonardo's film companies to buy the film rights, this was about 18 months ago now. The plan has always been to have a narrator, I think that's were Pitt's character will focus.

Anyway we'll see what surfaces...

Brad isnt too bad...at least better than Di Caprio

Actually, Di Caprio has matured into a very good actor, The Departed and Body of Lies are two excellent films, looking forward to seeing him in Inception too.

Well better than he was in Critter's!

thought he was really good in Blood Diamond to and any movie with zombies is will be good

I have a bad feeling about this movie already.   

[Crudeboy]

Well the narrator in the book wasn't really all that well defined. If I recall correctly you knew who he worked for and that he survived the war, and that's about it. So, if they stay with the interview style of the book, interspersed with flashbacks, then I don't suppose I care either way who plays the lead if it's going to be mainly narration.

However, I doubt that will be the case. If not, I'll take Brad Pitt over DiCaprio.

Geez, doesn't this sound like schoolgirl gossip, debating over those two.  Like, omigawd.

Either way, I'm happy to see that this is progressing at all.

[Commander Vyper]

Come on guys. You all know that Brad Pitt will pull out at the last minute, and the replacement will be John "Forever sad and depressed" Cusack...

It's his production company that bought the rights so let's hope not.

Anyway if this goes belly up at least we've got six episodes of The Walking Dead this oct from AMC.

Yes quite, I agree. He had done a swell job and The Departed itself was an excellent film as a whole. Can't say I honestly care which of the two would do the part. I value them both as excellent actors and parts in plenty of interesting films.

[Sterling Moose]
