Brad Pitt On Set Of The Tree of Life: Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” has apparently been seen by an internet blogger from the Home Theatre Forum website. Meanwhile, there is also random speculation by the Austin Chronicle, that the Austin-based Malick might unveil “Tree of Life” at Fantastic Fest in September. The event hosted the world premiere of “There Will Be Blood” in 2007. Jeffrey Wells as well as Filmstage.com picked up the blogger’s comments.

Apparently, per the blogger, “Tree of Life” is three hours long which comes as no surprise – it’s a Malick epic. There is also talk that there might be two cuts of the film, similar to what Malick did with “The New World.” The blogger is under the impression that the film will be released in October, but that information has yet to be revealed by the film’s distributor Apparition. “Tree of Life” was suppose to be shown to the New York Film Festival selection committee, but was pulled away.

“BP stands for British Petroleum, but it may soon be equated with Brad Pitt,” began a recent piece.

In the New York Daily News, which claimed the actor “is interested in making a dramatic film about.

The BP Gulf Coast oil spill  not surprising given that Pitt is enamored of the region.” The item then noted how Pitt owns.

A home in New Orleans, and that his “Make It Right Initiative helps communities there rebuild in the wake of Katrina.”

This rumor, not surprisingly, spread to a number of sites  like PerezHilton  that still haven’t bothered to clean up their reporting.

But Gossip Cop looked into it, and Pitt’s rep told us they “have heard nothing about this.” At least we can stem the flow of this bad rumor.

Brad Pitt, who made his first foray into the world of the bloodsuckers in 1994 with the successful Interview with the Vampire with Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst could be the star of 'Vlad'. A tape featuring the actor Charlie Hunnam script (Children of Men, Cold Mountain) and would focus on the youth of Vlad Tepes, the ruthless Prince of Wallachia who inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula and Vlad who was known as' The impaler '.

Reveals a report published by The Hollywood Reporter, along with Summit Ent. one of the producers of the film would be Plan B, the company has many ballots Pitt to star in the project.  The film would be directed by Anthony Mandler, a music video director who has worked with figures of the likes of The Killers, Eminem and Rihanna, which has led on ten occasions. The idea is to give producers the tape of a different aesthetic and striking, in line with what Zack Snyder did with '300 '.

Brad Pitt greets members of the press at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday (November 4). The 45-year-old actor, who’s in town to premiere Inglourious Basterds, was still wearing beads in his beard from his Halloween costume!

Also on hand to introduce the movie were director Quentin Tarantino and Brad’s costars Melanie Laurent and Julie Dreyfus. As part of a promotion, Japanese viewers of Basterds will be offered their money back if they’re bored of the movie after the first hour, HuffPo reported earlier today.

Some would say Brad should stick to acting.  It's not all beer and skittles when it comes to being the world's sexiest man. Sure, Brad Pitt gets to go home to Angelina Jolie but he is just as prone to a bingle as the rest of us.

Pitt was last week forced to call in a truck to pick up one of his chopper-style bikes after he pranged it. The star of Inglourious Basterds (pictured) reportedly clipped a parked car, lost control and fell over. The good news is the chopper aficionado has plenty of other bikes to use while the damaged one is being fixed.

The answer to that is a moment of silence. Soon we hear the first notes of eerie music, a foreboding of something sinister. Then from the heart of a tunnel a shadowy figure emerges with a baseball bat in hand. What we witness in the next few seconds is violence in its most raw and pristine form.

The baseball bat comes with the swiftness of a hurricane and the savage power that only pure hate can unleash. We hear the sound of wood meeting skull. It's gruesome. It's Quentin Tarantino - with the subtext that the Allies were pretty brutal too.

Inglourious Basterds isn't littered with such moments of intense savagery though one also gets to see scalps being knifed off the skull. But watching it we always feel a sense of looming menace that's almost Hitchcockian. In ordinary situations - be it a German officer drinking milk or biting into his apple strudel with fresh cream - we sense the possibilities of limitless terror, touch the mad angles of fear.

Brad Pitt’s manager has said that actor never tagged Tom Cruise’s ‘Valkyrie’ a “ridiculous movie”. German magazine Stern recently reported that Pitt had slammed the historical thriller set in Nazi Germany during World War II. But Pitt’s manager denied the story, dubbing it far off from the truth.

“Brad has never seen VALKYRIE so this is NOT accurate,” Us magazine quoted the manager as saying. The film depicts the July 20, 1944 plot by German army officers of the German Resistance to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and to use the Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to take control of the country.

Inglourious Basterds finished first at the late-summer box office battle ahead of the sci-fi thriller District 9, Shorts and Time Traveler’s Wife.

Pitt and his Basterds earned $37.6 million in its first week of release.  Tarantino has his first summer hit in years and Pitt continues his hot streak that most recently saw him earn an Oscar nomination for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

In second place was the Peter Jackson-produced District 9 that scared up another $18.9 to outpace GI Joe.

The second Hasbro toy-to-movie number one (the first was Transformers 2), added another $12.5 million to it’s already impressive totals.

In fourth place, the terrific Time Traveler’s Wife continues to pack in passionate fans of the Audrey Niffenegger book to the tune of $10 million.
