Brad Pitt walks out on Helen Mirren movie after script row

Helen Mirren IS the shit, and I think she would have chewed Brad up and spit him out in their scenes together. Russell is much more up to the task of acting with Queen Helen.

Truly! I'm looking forward to see them acting together. I adore both of them.

Thank God somebody else here adores him as I do! He gets a really bad rap on almost all gossip sites, but I can't get enough of my reformed bad boy.

I think we're alone here with our Russell love. He's a great actor, so that forgives a lot of sins for me.

No you're not. I think he's all kinds of hot. And way Oscar caliber.

^^I know, right?

Helen is the shit. Screw with her and I bet she will cut. Russell totally has the chops and is worthy of starring with her. Brad, not so much.

^^ Much love to Gerard.

Sigh.

On topic...Russell would hold his own way better than vanilla cupcake Braaaadley.

Fan of both Brad and Russell but push comes to shove Russell is the better actor.

Russells been playing nice lately guess he's tired of the academy over looking him come Oscar time.. I know I am (the dumb s__ts)

I'm not sure which movie Russell grew the hair and gained the weight for but I'll be glad when he looses both. Guilty pleasure Mystery Alaska

^^It was criminal how they overlooked him for Cinderella Man. Best. Movie. Evah. I could even tolerate old lemon face in that one.

Alas, that movie opened right after the phone throwing incident, which btw, if Rusty had wanted to hit the guy in the face, he could have. He's a mean Crickett player and the cousin of two internationally known Cricketers. Those guys pitch HARD and have to be extremely accurate. As it was, he hit the wall beside the fellow, and a piece of it came off and scratched him.

I remember reading a New Yorker piece at the time. It explained it much better than most press accounts. The guy was being incredibly insulting and dismissive to a customer paying 4k a night. Rusty warned him: "I'm coming down there to kick your ass."

That cocky perp walk was a classic.

ITA. Brad Pitt uses his sexual magnetism to carry him through movies a lot of the time, and Russell just uses his raw acting ability.

And sorry, but Brad Pitt isn't going to be missed if he doesn't do this movie, imo. He's sort of lost his shine, and I can take him or leave him.
