Much like the rest of the world, Brad
Pitt was touched by the story of the
33 Chilean miners who were
trapped underground for more than
two months before being rescued.
Now, the 46-year-old actor is in
talks to tell their tale on the big
screen.
People.com reports that Pitt's
production company Plan B – which
he founded with ex-wife Jennifer
Aniston – "has expressed potential
interest in the story," according to
company rep Jon Liebman, CEO of
Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
"Like so many people worldwide,
Plan B has been incredibly moved
by the story of the Chilean miners
and their families."
Though a lawyer for the miners told
the Santiago, Chile, newspaper El
Mercurio that Plan B offered millions
for the men's story, Liebman shoots
down those claims. "There have not
yet been serious discussions," he
tells People.
This wouldn't be the first time Pitt's
Plan B has turned a true-life drama
into a moving movie. In 2007, the
company released "A Mighty Heart,"
which starred Angelina Jolie as
journalist Mariane Pearl, whose
husband, Wall Street Journal
reporter Daniel Pearl, was kidnapped
and slain by terrorists in Pakistan.
