Brad Pitt Set to Star as Gen. McChrystal
Stars and Stripes | Apr 15, 2014 | by Patrick Dickson
WASHINGTON — Hollywood is going to war again, and this time, Brad Pitt is in charge.
Pitt will star as Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former commander of all Western forces in Afghanistan, in a film adaptation of “The Operators,” the book that chronicles the rise and fall of McChrystal, and according to its cover, the “wild and terrifying inside story of America’s war in Afghanistan.”
No production date has been set, but David Michôd, who helmed 2010′s crime drama “Animal Kingdom,” will direct. Pitt’s Plan B company, which will produce “The Operators,” also produced last year’s best-picture Oscar winner, “12 Years A Slave.”
