Paramount and Brad Pitt Discover Lost City of Z

Source:  Variety
Paramount Pictures just picked up Lost City of Z, a David Grann manuscript about the search for a lost city in the Amazon, with Brad Pitt to produce and potentially star in the feature adaptation through his Plan B shingle.

According to Variety, Grann's forthcoming nonfiction book concerns British explorer Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett, who was attempting to find the so-called City of Z when he and his party disappeared in 1925. Over the next 70 years, scores of explorers tried and failed to retrace Fawcett's path, including a 1996 expedition of Brazilian adventurers. Pitt would play Fawcett.

No production date has been set.

Every actor hits the gym for a demanding role. IF he did get the part, i'm sure he'd bulk up.

and He-Man probably wasn't 5'11", 180 pounds. Brad needs to hit the gym in order to kick Skeletor's ass lol

As for butler as he-man, i don't think that would work. U have a better chance of convincing me he's fit for conan(there ya go, rbt)than for he-man. Besides, he wouldn't look good with the blonde hair. Pitt would even be better than butler for he-man.

Brad Pitt's all right. I liked him in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And the only reason he's becoming yesterday's news is cuz he's with angelina and raising a family of tiny african children. lol

i heard that the Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt may be the next "most Powerful Man in the Universe" (HE-MAN).

The Troy star could gain the famous title of the Master Of The Universe by playing He-Man in the next evocative movie remake.

What u think?... u think he fits in HE-MAN?
