Loosen Up My Buttons, Brad

Brad Pitt has committed to star in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button about a man who hits age 50 and begins aging backward. Complications ensue when he falls in love with a woman of 30. Button will likely start production late Fall 2006.

Brad is also considering Universal's "State of Play," the Americanized adaptation of the acclaimed British miniseries which Matthew Carnahan is writing. Brad is interested in playing a journalist and former campaign manager of a fast-rising politician who unravels a murder conspiracy involving his former boss. 

The Babel trailer has also been released.  Watch it below; be sure to check out the plethora of screencaps in the gallery.  Enjoy!

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!
