WB Acquires Sparrow for Brad Pitt
Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired the rights to sci-fi book The Sparrow for Brad Pitt to produce and possibly star.
The story revolves around a Jesuit priest who accompanies a crew of space travelers to a distant planet after Earth receives its first communication from an alien culture. The clergyman and crew befriend one of the planet’s two races, unwittingly provoking a bloody war and shaking the foundations of the priest’s faith. Michael Seitzman is adapting Mary Doria Russell’s debut novel of the same name.
Pitt’s upcoming projects include Babel with Cate Blanchett, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and the long-in-development Benjamin Button.
