Brad Pitt Back to Filming in The Big Easy

Did Brad Pitt hit up New Orleans yesterday to celebrate Mardi Gras? Not exactly. Brad is in town to work on his upcoming film Cogan's Trade with co-star Richard Jenkins. It's all business for Brad these days, even though he takes his cigarette breaks on set every now and then.

Brad plays the role of a professional enforcer named Jackie Cogan. He investigates a heist that takes place during a high-stakes poker game

The flick is anticipated to hit theaters some time in 2012 and will also feature Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem.
