Brad Pitt rumored for Red Dead Redemption movie
That hasn't stopped Show Biz Spy from claiming that Brad Pitt is the favorite to play lead renegade outlaw John Marston in the epic cowboy shoot-em-up. The site says that the film, which finds Marston forced to hunt down members of his old gang, will be a sprawling Western with a "few modern touches".
The news is that Brad Pitt is being given first refusal for the role. Which could very well be true, even if he doesn't know this yet. Who wouldn't hire Brad Pitt for their film? He is one of the biggest stars in the country, so it's quite possible that the makers of Red Dead Redemption want him in their film.
We will keep you up to date as soon as any real news on this story breaks.
Red Dead Redemption is in development .

The Narrator: The Better Man
This would be epic. Get James Mangold to direct!

@soylentgreen2 Yeah of course, the director must be good and the cast gotta be good and right if I'm going to see it. And I did not know that Hillcoat directed the short RDR film and an incredible western, both which I should see. But I would be pissed if a sh*tty director is picked. You think Tarantino would be a good choice?

As long as Uwe Boll isn't directing it then it might have a chance of making it. I'm not going to hold my breath though. Most of the video game adaptations I've seen "give or take a few" were total flops. Great game though. Hope it does well. Pitt would be awesome in this role.

check out JOSH HOLLOWAY from "Lost" he just needs to dye his hair dark-ish brown and presto JOHN MARSTON is born.

@wiseguy. John Hillcoat is hands down the best person to direct this (He directed the Red Dead Redemption short film and an incredible western called "The Proposition"). He's the obvious choice.
But, if they give to someone who's compotent, of course I'll see it. If they give it to someone like McGEE! or Paul W.S. Anderson, f*ck that noise.

@soylentgreen2 So if someone else besides John Hillcoat directs it, then you won't see it? I really do hope that they get a good director for this though and it would be awesome to see Pitt play John Marston.

Damn I was hoping for Matt Dillon to pick up the role. I've been waiting to see him in a good western.

What if Quentin Tarantino directed it? He mentioned something bout doing a western. This might be the right project for that idea. Plus he's already worked with Pitt before with Basterds.

This would make a great movie and he's perfect for the part but other great games were supposed to be movies too. BioShock, Halo, Gears of War and so on. I hope this one actually happens.
