Brad Pitt To Play Steve McQueen

According to anonymous Hollywood sources www.topgear.com is reporting that Brad Pitt is expected to sign on this week to play the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, in the actor's life story.

McQueen was more than just an accomplished womanizer and an award winning actor, he also contributed heavily to the world's car culture, staring in such iconic car movies as Bullitt, and Le Mans. If you have no idea what I'm talking about there's little hope for you. McQueen was also an accomplished race car driver, a highly successful motorcycle racer, plus he owned some of the world's great sports car including a Jaguar XKSS and a Ferrari Lusso.  

According to TopGear filming will begin later this year and the film will hit theatres sometime in 2010. Lets hope Angelina's hubby can pull it off.

McQueen made some great movies (The Great Escape, Papillon) but I think Pitt's too charismatic and animated to play such an always-glum guy. Regardless, I'm sure the film will whitewash McQueen's spousal abuse.
