Hello everyone. Not a lot of updates, I know. Well to be fair, there hasn’t been much Brad news apart from the candid appearances. Thus I am using this time to do some site maintainance. So updating scripts and refreshing stuff. There will also be a new main design soon. I will add some older pics this week.

I just accidentally deleted some new members that registered to the gallery. I am terribly sorry about that, I cannot fix that now as I don’t know who it was. My apologies, won’t happen again. Please register anew.

Also wanna take this opportunity to ask Alero, if she reads this, to contact me thru email. Thank you.

From interview with Author David Grann.

DG: They have hired a screenwriter and director and seem to be moving forward at a good clip.

We’ve been bringing you release updates on Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life over the last year because that’s all we’ve got on it. There are some vague plot details involving Brad Pitt and a story which “centers around a family with three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son witnesses the loss of innocence.” But it’s cryptic and no one really knows much about it because Malick is so secretive, but it looks like we now know when we’ll all be able to experience Malick’s newest film in all of its glory on the big screen. Apparition pres Bob Berny told Anne Thompson (via The Playlist) that Tree of Life “is definitely set for release in November.”
As for the claim from January of this year that The Tree of Life might be premiering for the very first time at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it was rumored a little while back that it might not make that premiere and will hit later on. However, Berney says a November release “doesn’t mean it won’t be ready for Cannes,” but it sounds like they don’t expect to make a big splash there because they’re unsure if Malick will be done by then. At least we know it’ll be ready by November and it could hit some of the later festivals like Toronto even if it doesn’t show up at Cannes.

Hey, remember Moneyball? How could you not? The film meant to be directed by Steven Soderbergh, which was famously shut down at the eleventh hour by Sony chief Amy Pascal, is still going forward. Bennett Miller is directing from a new script by Aaron Sorkin. Original star Brad Pitt remains part of the equation (which seems miraculous) but his co-star has changed. No longer will Demetri Martin play the young statistician that helps Oakland A’s manager make baseball history. Now it will be Jonah Hill.
ESPN has the news about Hill. Columnist Rob Neyer says he talked to Michael Lewis, author of the source book Moneyball: The Art to Winning an Unfair Game, who gave up the info that Martin was out and Hill is in. Rumors of the trade have been circulating for a week or so, but this is the first printed confirmation I’ve seen. That it comes from Lewis, rather than one of the film’s producers, is interesting, but I don’t think that makes it any less legit.
Jonah Hill will play Paul DePodesta, a Harvard grad who skipped over Wall St. jobs and instead went to work for A’s manager Billy Beane. The duo put DePodesta’s ‘Earned Run Value’ statistical system to work and built a winning team for peanuts.
