Jul. 4, 2007 08:40 AM[/align][/align]Brad Pitt will star in a remake of 60s classic movie 'Bullitt.'

The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor will take the role of Lt Frank Bullitt made famous by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen in the 1968 original film.

A source said, "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 original film sees the tough detective hunting a hitman who has killed his fellow officers. The movie is renowned for featuring one of the best car chases in cinema history as McQueen's Mustang car speeds through the rollercoaster streets of San Francisco.

Brad, 43, has been linked with the role since 2003 but the project has only now been given the green light as film bosses desperately try to kick-start as many movies as possible before the Screen Actors Guild begin their anticipated strike action.

Brad can next be seen playing legendary outlaw Jesse James in the western 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,' due out in October.

Good post. I wonder what Bullitt Mustang they would have in this movie.

I would hope the 01, but they will probably make a s197 body style to fill the role.

Hope It is still a '68 fastback. There is justsomething about that car that is still magical to this day

if the movie is being made then there's a good chance the 2008 bullitt mustang is being made, cool.

there was a recent article in the august or september issue of mustang magazine, had the 08 bullitt specs and what not, basically gonna be a shelby GT.

It would be bitching to have the 01' Bullit, but they probably won't because it isn't a "fast" car to today's standards.

Donnie's GTS

Idk man, I have had run ins with todays 'fast cars' (sti, porsche boxster, and numerous s197's) only ever losing to on s197.
