It is cheaper than a bullet, and it has lasting consequences that unfold with sickening predictability that make it so cruelly effective. This is rape and assault designed to torture, to terrorize, to force people to flee, and to humiliate them.
Pitt, on the other hand, is reportedly being considered to be part of esteemed director Quentin Tarantino's penultimate film about the murders committed by serial killer Charles Manson.
He is allegedly in the running for a major role in the film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise also among the contenders. Margot Robbie is expected to play the role of one of Manson's victims, Sharon Tate.
Pitt's production company Plan B has also recently acquired the rights to "Landscape with Invisible Hand," a science fiction movie based on M.T. Anderson's alien invasion novel.
The film is set in a near-future where an alien species known as the Vuvv has conquered the planet and sees the collapse of the job market and global economy that led a teen couple to make a reality show out of their dating life for aliens to tune into as a way to make money.
