Brad Pitt is said to star in the remake of the 1960’s classic, ‘Bullitt.’ Pitt will take the role of Lt. Frank Bullitt, originally played by Steve McQueen in the 1968 version. According to sources “Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen - including a love of motorbikes and fast cars - so it was a dream role for him.”

The 1968 movie is based around a detective hunting a hitman who killed his fellow officers. The movie was best known for featuring one of the best car chases in theater history as McQueen’s Mustang car speeds through San Francisco.

Pitt was originally sought out for the role since 2003 but the project has now been given the green light.

How much you want to bet the new 2008 Bullitt Mustang will be the star?

found this on the movie....new Dodge Charger R/Tvs ’08 Mustang Bullitt???

That’s right, soon we can relive the classic Mcqueen thriller Bullitt with Pitt starring as Lt. Frank Bullitt. According to sources, “Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen - including a love of motorbikes and fast cars - so it was a dream role for him.”

Pitt's current car curiosity does not at all come close to Mcqueen's fascination of racing. The man performed most of his own stunts and insisted on chasing and racing where it probably wasn't all that necessary. He once came 23 seconds from beating the great Mario Andretti in a Porche! He had his own damn patent for a bucket seat!!

Pitt's girlfriend was Laura Croft in Tomb Raider...and is kind of hot...

With the new Dodge Charger R/T and alleged ’08 Mustang Bullitt as co-stars by default, Bullitt will easily satisfy middle-age fans of gimmicky remakes oversaturated with product placement and lackluster writing.

Gearheads looking for more bang for their buck can relax—Transformers should be in the dollar theaters if not on DVD by then...

I don't think it should be brad pitt, it should be Daniel Craig (new James Bond)

Brad Pitt Steve McQueen

Daniel Craig



Now if Craig wore his hair the right way and did an American accent, He would be perfect as Frank Bullitt

Steve McQueen was a stud. Brad Pitt is a homo. There is only one Bullit!

+1 on Craig.

I would see the movie just for the movie chase scenes. *cough* Gone in 60 Seconds...30+ times for the Eleanor scene. *cough*

Damon007

back in the day men had some hair on thier body and were not all feminized out like the stars are today. Brad Pitt is indeed a Homo*.


*not that there is anything wrong with that.

I agree that looks wise, Daniel Craig would be a better choice... too bad he's a wuss. For a Bond pre-release Media event, he was to arrive by speedboat. He refused to let the boat go above 20 mph, he wore 2 life preservers for the ride and when he got off said something to the effect of 'Wow, that was scary.' [>:]

I say, screw the talent. The largest demographic that this movie appeals to is NOT going to see this movie for the acting or story lines. I bet the parking lots are going to look like a Mustang/Charger convention. Stick a real racer in the seat (Nascar, Formula 1, Rally....ANYONE with driving talent) and let him at it. Heck, Nick Cage did most of the driving on "Gone in 60 seconds", put him in the seat. Anyone but the ridiculously overly metro-sexual Brad Pitt. He's just there to get the non-car-chicksto show...

Typical Hollywood. Can't come up with something good andoriginal so they remake old movies.

A Bullit remake?

A Bullit remake starring Brat Pitt???

Say it ain't so...

That's an overblown, internet rumour version of the event. Much was made of it at the time, but the studio insisted that all restrictions on the boat and his wearing a life vest were insurance company imposed. Craig-bashers have since embellished the story to make him look bad.
