Pitt is in talks to star in The Gray Man, an adaptation of Mark Greaney's book
He's playing Court Gentry, a shadowy assassin and former CIA Apparently Pitt is also considering an adaptation of the Mark Greaney novel The Gray Man, a drama about a CIA operative-turned-hired-killer, is targeted for death by a team assigned to rescue. When he finds out that he's been targeted to be killed himself, he has to evade his would-be pursuers.
The movie sounds like it will be an action flick in the vein of the Bourne movies, and I'm excited — I love Pitt in action star mode. Anything that brings back memories of the shades-wearing, gun-toting movie star of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is fine by me.
