He has been "checking in with Ella weekly as she preps for production" for the project as he himself worked on his new science fiction film "Ad Astra."

It is reported that "Brad had Ella in mind from the get-go" and that "he went out of his way to cast her" on the show. The same source claims that Pitt has "taken with Ella's spunky, funny demeanor and formidable acting skills."
Purnell is apparently "flattered" by the attention he is giving her, even telling her friends that the actor happens to be her "number one celebrity crush."
However, a source close to the "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" star, who spoke to Mirror Online, shot down the rumors saying:
It's completely made up. They're not dating.
Neither stars have acknowledged the reports at this time although following the Pitt and Purnell romance rumor, many media outlets have debunked.
However, many fans have noticed the resemblance of Purnelll to Jolie. In fact, she played the younger version of her in the hit Disney film "Maleficent."
Jolie is reportedly "seeing red" about learning about Pitt and Purnell, but it also pushed her to apparently date again after not doing so following the divorce.
She's furious about Brad's interest in Ella and her being cast in "Sweetbitter." She absolutely hates that Brad is cavorting with someone who played the teenage version of her in a film.
Jolie recently took her two eldest daughters Zahara and Shiloh at the premiere of her upcoming animated film "Breadwinner." They walked the red carpet together and the kids appear to have enjoyed at the event as they were seen all smiles.
