Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill who resently starred together in the movie "Moneyball" are once again teaming up to star in a new movie. Together with James Franco ("Pineapple Express,") Hill and Pitt are starring in the film based on a memoir by journalist Michael Finkel.
Deadline reported that Hill will be playing Finkle "who was a writer at The New York Times Magazine in 2002 when he learned that Christian Longo was captured in Mexico after a long stint on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List for killing his family. The strange part was that he had been living under the identity of Finkel. The very next day, the real Finkel was fired by the editors of The New York Times, right after they ran an editor’s note declaring that he had falsified parts of an investigative article. His career seemed over, until Longo (who’ll be played by Franco) declared that the real Finkel was the only journalist he would talk to. That led to a surreal relationship with the accused murderer who was trying to declare his innocence. For the real Finkel, it was an opportunity to unravel the mystery and perhaps redeem himself as a journalist."
The film will be directed by Rupert Goold.
