Brad Pitt in Red Dead Redemption film?

Those who saw Brad Pitt in 2008's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford probably don't want to see the actor screw up another Western. To me he was the least effective part of that film, as he was painfully out acted by Casey Affleck. No worry then, because this latest rumor from Showbiz Spy is a long shot to actually be true anyway.

The gossip site is reporting that Brad Pitt is the lead choice to star in a big screen adaptation of Red Dead Redemption, the massive open ended video game Western by Rockstar Games. There's very little to actually support the rumor, so keep your expectations low. There isn't even confirmation of a Red Dead Redemption game in production yet.

But I've learned from doing this so long that these rumors very rarely spring out of nowhere. So just keep this little tidbit filed away for now. If there's any meat to it you can bet we'll hear about it pretty quick.
