Rumor: Brad Pitt to star in an Adaptation of Red Dead Redemption - Blu-ray Forum

According to a report by ShowBizSpy.com, Brad Pitt is the leading candidate to play the role of John Marston in an upcoming movie based off the Red Dead Redemption videogame.

"This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it," a source told the website. "The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches.

"Brad is perfect for the role and he is being given first refusal."

When asked about the report, Rockstar Games told IGN the studio does not comment on rumor or speculation.

If true, a Red Dead Redemption movie should come as no surprise to fans. The game shipped five million copies worldwide only a month after it released, and will likely be one of this year's best-selling titles.

I say rumor, as I don't think there is any truth behind this at all, but I'm sure it's worth a look anyway

Makes me wonder why there hasn't been a Grand Theft Auto movie yet.

I'm still waiting on Interstate '76 starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey.

But, I'd watch a Brad Pitt starring RDR.

Brad Pitt just doesn't seem gritty enough to be John Marston. Although i'm sure he could pull it off. Either way i'll see the movie

Already done many years ago, it was Ron Howard's directing debut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNgZJ9mhzNY

Never played or seen the game but I'm always ready for another Western
