New Pitt Flick: Chad Schmidt
From Dark Horizons:
Brad Pitt is attached to star in "Chad Schmidt," a new Steve Conrad script that has been sold to Columbia Pictures for more than $1 million says The Hollywood Reporter.
"Schmidt" centers on a talented young actor who moves to Los Angeles in the 1980s to pursue his dream of movie stardom. The twist is that he bears a peculiarly strong resemblance to another up-and-coming actor named Brad Pitt.
As the real Pitt achieves a dazzling level of fame, the fictional Schmidt, for all of his talent, becomes a comic uncastable joke. Ultimately, Schmidt must struggle to overcome the blow of abandoning his dreams and must make peace with the hard realities of life.
Hope this goes ahead soon, because it sounds like it could be pretty good.

This film sounds odd, but since Brad Pitt is my favorite actor, I will give it a chance.
The Chad Schmidt character should have become Pitt's stunt double like Ben Stiller as Tom Cruise's in Mission: Improbable.

On a side note, I heard that his secret (as well as Johnny Depp's) to youth was placenta oil (or something insane like that).

Sounds interesting, I would think any guy that remotely looks like Brad Pitt wouldn't have a tough time getting acting jobs. But I could be wrong.
Oh yeah, I just got the title Chad Schmidt ryhmes with Brad Pitt.
