Brad Pitt bidding to make movie on Chilean Miners

[HMG Celebrity News] – When the 33 Chilean miners emerged from their ten-week ordeal in the Atacama desert’s San José mine, a film deal was inevitable. And now that film may get made by no less than Brad Pitt.

Brad’s production company ‘Plan B’ has “expressed potential interest in the story,” says Jon Liebman, of Brillstein Entertainment Partners, who work with Brad on his projects.

“Like so many people worldwide, Plan B has been incredibly moved by the story of the Chilean miners and their families,” Jon tells People.

And Brad’s not playing games – Edgardo Reinos Lundstedt, a lawyer who works with the miners, recently told the Chilean newspaper ‘El Mercurio’ that people who speak for Brad at ‘Plan B’ had made his clients an offer ‘in the millions.’

But don’t get the popcorn just yet – Liebman was quick to point out that “There have not been any serious discussions.”

But if Brad does make the film it should be good – Plan B also made the Daniel Pearl drama, ‘A Mighty Heart’ [which co-starred Angelina,] ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife,’ with Eric Bana, and ‘Glee’ producer Ryan Murphy’s romance-fest ‘Eat, Pray, Love,’ with Julia Roberts and James Franco.

Personally, I don’t think the miners could get their story told by anyone better. But do you think Brad is the right man for the job, or should someone else do this film?…
