Brad Pitt is attached to star in "Chad Schmidt", a new Steve Conrad script that has been sold to Columbia Pictures for more than $1 million says The Hollywood Reporter.

"Schmidt" centers on a talented young actor who moves to Los Angeles in the 1980s to pursue his dream of movie stardom. The twist is that he bears a peculiarly strong resemblance to another up-and-coming actor named Brad Pitt.

As the real Pitt achieves a dazzling level of fame, the fictional Schmidt, for all of his talent, becomes a comic uncastable joke. Ultimately, Schmidt must struggle to overcome the blow of abandoning his dreams and must make peace with the hard realities of life.

I think this is another potential hit for brad Pitt, one of my favourite actors, he is brilliant...and i think this unique story will help with his career...

I kind of like the idea.

"You in an alternate universe"

There's a potential for this to have a great script.

or some terrible execution

That is one of the most original concept I have heard from a movie. It sounds interesting. It sounds something like Being John Malkovich

yeh..and with Brad Pitt, what could go wrong...... :wink:

i don't know why my feeling is kinda doubt this one will be a hit. maybe it's just my feeling.

It may not be a hit as such, but having Brad Pitt starring will make it a good film nonetheless.
