The movie will see Pitt signed on as a producer as well as being infront of the camera, Brad Weston, New Regency's president and CEO confirmed yesterday. It's believed Michael Hasting's book about the general will form the basis for the story.

Looks like Brad, who was also producer on 12 Years A Slave, is continuing to work infront and behind the camera. The actor also appears to be sticking to his theme of war following his latest movie Fury where he plays a Sherman tank commander.
