Brad Pitt walks out on Helen Mirren movie after script row

[Flak]

Helen is not immune to crappy script choices, and Brad can afford it. I don't see the gossip.

WTF! His vision? Maybe he's just worried that in the presence of Mirren and Norton people will notice even more what a sucky actor he is. He did ok with Norton in Fight Club but there's no comparison really. What a stupid little diva. Still, it's probably best for the movie that this "special" guy won't be in it to ruin it.

Bring on Johnny!!! (Crowe is a twat)

Hehe, Veingelina made him do this. She's affraid he'll fall for Rachel, the very radiant, very juicy looking, very ALIVE looking Rachel McAdams.

^Well, Robin Wright Penn isn't exactly Quasimodo, either. And definitely more age appropriate for Brad. It'd be cool to have Sean Penn kick his ass.

In Russian folk tales there are stories of a witch who steals children from villagers, and they call her Baba Yaga - Boney Shanks (Boney Ass). I don't know why I bring that up

I don't know why either but it is still funny and AJ appropriate.

Let's see. Accredited actors Edward Norton, Helen Mirren, etc. seemingly have no problem with the script. But the studio is supposed to change the script to suit the vision of a hack actor and dimwit?

[Bijoux]

Brad bailed because he realised all the other actors performaces would blow him out of the water. He knows how shit he is.

Ohh I also love Rachel!!!

So I think I smell a new bedtime story on the horizon: Baba Yaga and the Piloh Shitt

These comments are cracking me up. I understand this is a gossip site but not everything in the movie making business is about tabilod rumors or who hates whom. People are being silly because it seems they'll find any reason to blame Angelina.

They'll have a very hard time suing Brad. If he didn't think he had the right to drop out (as all actors do all the time) he wouldn't of. Pitt always has final approval on his scripts written in the contract. So, if he didn't like it , voiced this concern which he has done over and over again then the studio can't sue. They're just trying not to loose the other actors and scare him into returning. Good Luck with that!

Universal wants the film made with that cast. They also don't want it out that the lead is unhappy and has been with the script. They've been rewriting this script for over a year. It looks nothing like the original one. The movie studios are panicking big time because they need movies to put out in 2008. Since the WGA strike is in effect, there are no writers to do rewrites for the scripts so tons of movies are being pushed back.Then there's also another looming actors strike coming up..Basically, they're screwed and they're trying to cover it up by pushing production forward on movies with crappy scripts.

As for Sean Penn kicking Brad's butt........ HA! Brad and Sean Penn have been friends since the 90's. They support a lot of the same causes and have a lot of the same friends. They were hanging out together at a TIFF party just about a month ago. Just because they aren't seen together publicly or you haven't heard about it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I agree CD. Rachel is to die for.

And she is only a year younger than Angie. Amazing.

[tkdgirl]

And she is only a year younger than Angie. Amazing.

A year younger????

Holy botox on a biscuit! Angie looks at least 8 years older!!!!

[Palermo]

Helen M is an actress, to compare what Brad does to what she does is ludicruous. He's just a rapidly aging pretty face

[CherryDarling]

And she is only a year younger than Angie. Amazing.

Or...as my cynical mind tends to think, a year younger than Angie claims to be. I've always thought Ang was more around 35ish.

Either way, Rachel is a babe.

wow. words of wisdom. I think I might have that carved on my tombstone.
