'Babel' Brings Unity

A couple more pictures of Brad Pitt posing with (Japanese?) tourists in Santa Monica after his business meeting for his upcoming film project "A Mighty Heart."  If you've never seen the video of this, watch it here.  If you missed Angelina Jolie's interview on Anderson Cooper 360°, read it here.  Babel starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Gael García Bernal is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams, Amores Perros) and will be released this fall on October 27.  You can read the first Babel review by a fan who attended a test screening and said, "This is a movie of unity at its core."

Brad Pitt on the Cannes

When Babel, the latest offering from Alejandro González Iñárritu, premieres at the Cannes Film Festival this month, it will be a remarkable moment for Mexican cinema. Before 2000, when the director's debut, Amores Perros, took Cannes by storm, Mexican films were rarely seen by international audiences. This year, one of Babel 's main competitors for the Palme d'Or will be Pan's Labyrinth, by González Iñárritu's compatriot Guillermo del Toro. That two Mexican films are competing for the most prestigious prize in world cinema is a measure of how far the Mexican industry has come in the past six years.
New Babel stills! Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu's drama Babel, starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal, is currently scheduled to show at Cannes on Tuesday, May 23 and open in limited release on Friday, October 6.  Below is an Entertainment Tonight clip, which contains an intense scene from Babel featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.  More pictures in the gallery!

Pitt Sees Green

In New Orleans

Enjoy this new still from Brad Pitt's upcoming film Babel, opening October 6, 2006 (limited release). The Associated Press recently interviewed Brad on the announcement about his New Orleans design competition.  Listen to the audio of Brad being interviewed by AP below via silverthoughts!  Here's the article — Brad Pitt called Thursday for people to submit proposals for an environmentally friendly design competition he is sponsoring to rebuild parts of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
   
"Our goal is to kick off the rebuilding effort. It's certainly long overdue and I can only go from the reports that we get ... that it's behind, absolutely. People are frustrated," Pitt said by telephone from Namibia.

"We could possibly build something that was better and took into account the historical traditions of the city and the voices of the people and turn this into some kind of good," the actor added.

Pitt, who is currently in the southern African country with actress Angelina Jolie and their children, is teaming up with Global Green USA, a national environmental organization, on the design project. (continued after the jump)
