Brad Pitt ageing in reverse?
The 'Ocean's Eleven' star is in negotiations to play the lead in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.
May 4 2005
Brad Pitt is set to re-team with David Fincher on a movie version of F Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.
The pair, who previously worked together on 'Se7en' and 'Fight Club', are currently in talks to adapt the strange story, with Eric Roth ('Forrest Gump', 'The Insider', 'Ali') writing the script.
The film will be a much more sedate affair than their previous outings, however; it tells the tale of Benjamin Button, an elderly man who ages in reverse (kind of like Cliff Richard) and at age 50 falls in love with a woman of 30.
Cate Blanchett is currently in negotiations to play the female lead, although before then she will star opposite Pitt in Alejandro González Iñárritu's eagerly anticipated third film, 'Babel'.
Longtime Steven Spielberg collaborators Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.
