最近小布所製作的電影都算是有一定的口碑，不管是前年的 Moneyball（魔球） 或者是最近的 Fury（怒火特攻隊）。Brad Pitt 好就好在，他不會一天到晚想要帥氣的在螢幕打來打去，也知道退居幕後的重要性。（啊？我在說誰？！）

今天的大新聞就是：Brad Pitt 找了 Christian Bale 與 Ryan Gosling 一起共演片名為 "The Big Short" 的作品。依照 Variety 所講， 應該是 Brad Pitt 的電影公司 Plan B 要拍的是 Michael Lewis 的暢銷小說 "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine"（審判日機器的內情？）。這部寫實小說的內容說明了千禧年與 2007 金融風暴之間的關聯性。

到目前為止電影執行開始時間未定，而這幾位大咖演員所分到的戲份都會差不多。

嗯，我對這個作品的期待度比 Steve Jobs 或者是摩西都還要高啊！可能不會大賣，但是至少有一定的口碑吧？（比較能夠期待）

Following the success of “Moneyball,” Brad Pitt and his Plan B shingle have assembled an all-star cast for the next adaptation of a Michael Lewis bestseller.

Sources tell Variety that Pitt, Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling have come on board to star in “The Big Short,” Paramount and Plan B’s adaptation “The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine,” which Adam McKay is writing and directing.

Lewis’ nonfiction tome tells the story of the build-up of the housing and credit bubble during the 2000s that led to the financial crisis of 2007-2010. Paramount had no comment.

Pitt will produce with DeDe Gardner through their Plan B banner. Production start date is unknown.

The book follows several key people who played a role in creating the disastrous credit bubble. The feature adaptation will likely feature several A-list actors who have similiar-sized roles, similar to the cast of “Traffic” or “The Counselor.”

As with “Moneyball,” Pitt has been very passionate about getting this adaptation onto the bigscreen.

His Plan B company has built a reputation for serious dramas that tackle important issues, with “12 Years a Slave” landing last year’s best picture Oscar and “Selma” deep in the Oscar race this year.

Pitt, who is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment, was last seen in “Fury.” The WME-repped Bale was last seen in “Exodus: Gods and Kings” and will shoot the Travis McGee pic “The Deep Blue Goodby” this spring.

Gosling just wrapped production on the Warner Bros. thriller “The Nice Guys.” He is repped by Anonymous Content and LBI Entertainment.
