Brad Pitt Movie News
Plan B, Brad and Jennifer’s production company (or Brad’s, if you believe that their divorce has been settled), has acquired the rights to The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell. Brad is rumored to want to play the main character, a Jesuit priest, in the film.
Info from Amazon.com about the book:
In 2019, humanity finally finds proof of extraterrestrial life when a listening post in Puerto Rico picks up exquisite singing from a planet which will come to be known as Rakhat. While United Nations diplomats endlessly debate a possible first contact mission, the Society of Jesus quietly organizes an eight-person scientific expedition of its own. What the Jesuits find is a world so beyond comprehension that it will lead them to question the meaning of being “human.” When the lone survivor of the expedition, Emilio Sandoz, returns to Earth in 2059, he will try to explain what went wrong.

Hmmm… could it be interesting?
I don´t know, I guess sci-fic is a tough genre to make…

I so love that his Planet B is becoming one of the major production company’s in the biz. He said maybe 2-3yrs ago that making movies was a young mans game, and that he saw himself moving behind the camera (not directing), and into getting them made. The book is supposed to be very good, and I plan on reading it soon. From what I gather it’s less a Sci-fi, and more about…in a nutshell….spirtual faith and the threat of losing it.
