Brad Pitt as Thor, Bruce Willis as Hannible in A-Team - YEP!
Date: May 10, 2008
El Mayimbe here with a quick and cool Friday night update.
A lot of bees buzzing in Hollywood so check it...
...from what I'm hearing, for John Singleton's upcoming remake of THE A-TEAM, they're looking at Bruce Willis for the role of Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, the leader of the A-TEAM. I love it when a plan comes together!
Meanwhile, over at Marvel, the name they are tossing around to pick up Thor's mighty hammer is Brad Pitt! A solid choice.
Keep in mind, NO OFFER HAS BEEN MADE TO PITT YET!
Mark Petrosevich wrote one hell of a draft which they are in the process of trimming down for budgetary reasons. Not for nothing, with the acting chops that Downey Jr brought over to Iron Man, it's understandable why Marvel wants to go after a reputable name like Pitt - they're gonna need someone who can act. I personally loved Pitt's bad ass characterization of Achilles in Troy, so I think Pitt could pull off Thor. Marvel is not going to be typical and go after the John Cenas, Chris Jerichos and Tyler Manes of the world. That would be corny.
Could Brad Pitt, like Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr before him, be feeling the mid life urge to act in a movie for his children to enjoy now that he is a dotting dad? Only time will tell, but first I think Marvel needs to lock down a director.
Stay tuned as more develops!
