Danny Trejo would've made the perfect John Marston but Pitt has played some amazing roles.

I haven't played the game, but judging from pictures Viggo Mortenson "The Road" style might suit it.

Also, fingered.

This is where the differences in American English and UK English become apparent.
Its actually where dirty minds and not so dirty minds become apparent.

OT: Brad Pitt is a great actor. I have never actually played the game so I cannot really have an opinion on the game.

Was I the ONLY person who didn't take 'fingered' as a sex joke as soon as I saw the headline?... for a few seconds, at least.

OT, which many people seemed to not have done this thread...:
1: A little soon for an RDR movie. I'm not really complaining, but still.

2: I got no real problem with Pitt as John Marston. There are better choices, sure, but condiering how a lot of game movies don't even TRY to get an actor whose right for the job, this is a step in the right direction. Plus, Pitt's a good choice.

3: What I'm more concerned with is how they're going to fit a massive game like RDR into a single movie. Even if they went with just the story missions and cut out the tutorial, they'd need a trilogy at the least to...
THAT'S IT!
Part 1: Assault on Fort Mercer
Part 2: Mexican Revolution
Part 3: Blackwater and possibly forward (I only got up to the third mission borrowing a friend's copy...)

4: Part 3 is even assuming they don't screw up, like another movie that was to be broken down into parts *coughLastAirbendercough*

I've got no interest for a RDR movie, and I don't understand the fascination of turning interactive media into non-interactive media. Going from non-interactive to interactive, sure, you're adding some functionality there, but the other way around is just backwards. I don't need Brad Pitt to show me who John Marston is, the game did a magnificent job of that already.
Fucking ninja'd.
Especially when we're talking about RDR. That is one of the last games that needs to be made in to a shit movie.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this movie. If you don't think Pitt can pull off cowboy, go watch The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and then you can make a judgement call.

I am relieved to find I'm not the only one who saw that... I thought I just had a dirty mind.

It would be funny if Jennifer Aniston got the role of Bonnie :)

I liked the story of RDR, but I'm not too sure on the idea of a movie based on it. RDR was basically an homage to existing western movies. So this would be a movie based on a game based on movies. A photocopy of a photocopy.

That's the same thing I'm thinking about the upcoming Kane and Lynch movie, and I think that's why the Max Payne movie was always destined to suck.

Im relatively surprised that no one here is really upset about this. But then again, Brad Pitt is basically one of the best actors out there. I think this is gonna be good.

oh yeah he's the perfect choice since his role in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443680/]...

Lazlo (from Rockstar) stated that there is no movie in production nor is there any plans for a RDR movie (let alone one starring Brad Pitt). This is from 8/31 on the Ron and Fez show. Lazlo said he was getting heat for this false information when one of the hosts (Ron) said it on-air a couple days before, and the rags took it as truth.
