It seems that Brad Pitt could be starring in not one but two adaptations of Michael Lewis books. According to Vulture, Pitt's production company, Plan B, is closing a deal to option Lewis' forthcoming book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine.

The book takes a look at the current American housing situation and the Wall Street greed at the center of it. It was said that Pitt could be developing this as a starring vehicle for himself as well.

Pitt was set to star in another Lewis adaptation, Moneyball, before the plug was pulled on the production just days before shooting was set to start. Now Aaron Sorkin is writing the film, with Bennet Miller attached to direct. Pitt still could star in the film as well.

Moneyball was released September 23rd, 2011 and stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Chris Pratt, Stephen Bishop, Brent Jennings, Ken Medlock. The film is directed by Bennett Miller.

    I know, but if u look for info on the WWZ screenplay (Written by the same dude who wrote Shawshank, I think), every person who got their hands on it said it was epic. People were even wondering if a zombie flick could be taken seriously for best pic. So WTF Brad?
