 Today seems to be an unbelievably slow day, and while I dislike perpetuating rumor, a) this is pretty interesting; and b) like I said, slow day. Apparently, the story goes that Brad Pitt is considering playing the Steve McQueen role in a remake of his movie BULLITT. This story though, stems from some unbelievably thin premise, wherein a source claimed that "Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen - including a love of motorbikes and fast cars - so it was a dream role for him.".
So don't take this as gospel, just yet. Still, Pitt has been linked with this project for years, so maybe there's a little more weight to this rumor than most.
Personally, I approach any Brad Pitt casting rumor with extreme trepidation. I think his highest priority right now is an Oscar. BABEL didn't really do that for him but I'm sure DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB will get him extremely close if it happens. Thus, I can't help but doubt any news of him on any project that is neither awards-orientated (like DALLAS) or genius/with a genius director (like THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON). That's how I know he's not doing HE-MAN. Still, this is a really iconic role, so maybe it will tickle his fancy. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Extra Tidbit:
BULLITT was the first mainstream Hollywood movie to use the expletive 'Bullshit!'

WHATEVER BACK.
Bullitt's easily McQueen's most iconic movie, and it's only "unoriginal" retroactively 'cause so many movies have blatantly copied it over the years.
And why would a "remake directed by Michael Mann starring Brad...be awesome"? Maybe it's just me, but Mann's last movie, Miami Vice (which starred another Pitt-esque, pretty-boy "movie-star"), was just mind-numbingly lame. |

First off, the ONLY thing good about Bullitt was the iconic car chase. THAT'S IT. Story wise it sucked and was completely unoriginal. That was McQueens WORST movie. All of you have your noses buried in McQueens ass. Get it out now. A Bullitt remake directed by Michael Mann starring Brad would be awesome. Only downside is I doubt the remake can have a car chase that lives up. Death proof came close... |

deadshot, give me a break.
As for this, I won't be seeing it. There's only ONE Steve McQueen, and any real McQueen fan won't be watching this.
Fuck Pitt. |

IT'S OBVIOUSLY SEEMING LIKE IT'S JUST ME
but I'd really like to see a better version of BULLITT. I really dug McQueen, but the rest of the film left me a little cold. Get someone like Michael Mann to direct it. And remember when there was talk of the Pitt/Fincher team doing I AM LEGEND? Wasn't that a good idea? |
