Brad Pitt and Edward Norton Reunite!
:: 
It’s been several years since Fight Club wowed audiences, but now Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are teaming up again. They are both slated to star together in State of Play, directed by Kevin Macdonald, who also directed the fantastic The Last King of Scotland.
According to Variety.com:
Norton will play a congressman whose speedy political rise is threatened by an investigation into the death of his mistress. Pitt plays a politico-turned-journalist whose relationship with the solon is compromised when he oversees his newspaper’s investigation into the murder and develops a relationship with the pol’s estranged wife.
Brad has been on board for awhile but took on other projects while waiting for a final rewrite to be done. Now that it’s officially ready, Brad is ready too and will likely start filming in November if all goes well, while Edward will be ready to start filming as soon as he wraps up filming The Incredible Hulk.
Fight Club wasn’t my favorite movie. I enjoyed parts of it but I didn’t love it. However, I did absolutely love the way Brad and Edward worked together, they are both awesome actors, so I’m looking forward to seeing them onscreen together again!
(On the other hand, I did always love the “there is no fight club” line and still use it regularly when I’m discussing something secretive with people.)

They tried turning Angie against Brad with all the negative headlines,” Brad still loves Jen etc.” It did not work so they are now going to try and turn Brad against Angie “Angie trashes Brad etc. I feel so sorry for this couple. I wish these hateful tabs would just leave them alone.

I hear the UK tv series was good. It should be a great movie with Pitt and Norton

I did not see the whole Fight Club movie on television. I think the acting was great but the story was weird. Anyway, yes who will be the leading lady? Also, that “badmouthing stuff” the source is a tabloid so you know what I think of that. LIES, LIES, LIES.

I loved Fight Club and I am personally very happy that Brad Pitt is now playing in quality films again, such as Babel and Jesse James, where he can show his true talent.

Good morning Brangelina fans. This is probably Brad’s last movie this year, before the whole family go on vacation or lay low from the lime light. Brad looks a lot better now than he was married to his x. He seems taking care of himself, he is very much fit for his age. Ange takes good care of his great love.

actually the line is “the first rule of fight club is that you DON’T talk about fight club…”

Thanks sherry, really you didn’t enjoy it? It always amazes me but I think it can grow on you too.
It is one of my fave movies of all time. :)
Julia: lol I was just about to post that. So many great lines in it. Another one being: “Now a question of etiquette; the arse over the cruch(sp) choice/dilemma.”

Guys there is a video of Brad & Ange picking up Mad at school Yesterday & when they were going to the plane, I didn’t see Mad but I presumed he went to the airplane ahead of everybody with the nanny. They say he was left behind because of school, if they did because education is important for the Jolie-Pitt’s household.Check out the video at TMZ.com.

That doesn’t make sense, we have just seen pictures of them picking him up and them all getting into SUV at the hotel. I don’t think they will leave him behind.
TMZ are known to lie/exaggerate to please their readers, so i don’t put it pass them to report the wrong date on that video.
