Brad Pitt to team with Darren Aronofsky
Brad Pitt is set to team with Darren Aronofsky on action thriller The Tiger. It’ll be based on a forthcoming nonfiction book by John Vaillant, which follows the harsh life on a Siberian plain where human habitation begins to encroach on the stripy creatures’ territory. Ditching the usual “they’re more scared of us than we are of them” attitude, one toothy bastard decides to start hunting down townspeople.
Guillermo Arriaga, best known for two of the most wildly overrated indie movies of the past decade in Babel and 21 Grams has been hired to adapt The Tiger’s script, he says “This is the first time I have adapted a screenplay, since I have previously only written original screenplays, I chose to adapt this story, first, because I have a profound love for the outdoors and the intense tension between man and nature which the book reflects; and, second, because of the great privilege of working with such accomplished filmmakers.”
