Terrance Malick’s latest drama, “Tree of Life,” which stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain has been in production for many years now, and was originally set for a 2009 release date but due to the notorious slow pace of Malick, the film seemed doomed for 2010, or beyond. Or at least, 2010 seems to be where it was pushed. Let’s be honest, know one knows a thing about this film (including Malick).
But today the Italian newspaper La Repubblica says the hot news in Italy is that “Tree of Life” may actually be playing at the Rome International Film Festival which last from October 15th-23rd while possibly setting it up for a late 2009 release date.

New Interview
BILD caught up with him in a tucked-away Hotel bar in southern France guarded by two bodyguards in Hawaiian shirts. Brad Pitt was dressed all in black wearing sunglasses, suede shoes, unshaven and smiling.
We both wanted a beer but the bodyguards had scared off the waiter.
Brad Pitt: “You brew good beer in Germany.” He laughs. “My sunglasses are good for hiding puffy eyes after drinking.” They are from the 80s.
BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?
Brad Pitt: “Lots of fun! I’m happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!”
BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?
Brad Pitt: “She really likes it. She laughed a lot.”
BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi’s in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.
Brad Pitt: “Yes there’s a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany.”
Til Schweiger, Daniel Brühl, Christoph Walz, Diane Kruger and Gedeon Burkhard all starred in the film. For a world famous actor Brad is surprisingly normal. He is relaxed, has a friendly voice and is almost humble about his fame.
BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?
Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There’s nothing else.
