Even though Brad Pitt is busy on set helping partner Angelina Jolie with her directorial debut, the actor is still thinking ahead toward future projects. Reportedly, Brad's Plan B production company is in talks to create a movie based on the heroic tale of the Chilean miners.
Brad's Plan B Entertainment is reportedly one of the production companies in talks to buy rights to the film which will document the heroic journey of the trapped Chilean miners, The Wrap reports.
A lawyer for the miners told the daily newspaper, El Mercurio, that Plan B placed a multi-million dollar offer for the film, according to The Wrap. Along with the offer, people involved with Plan B have reportedly made two trips to Chile.
As far as the cast, several of the real miners may be playing themselves in the film.
