The original film follows the story of a detective going after a hitman who has killed his work partners. Brad Pitt has been linked with the role since 2003 and it seems now is the project the green light.
No other details about the movie are known, but meanwhile Brad Pitt can be seen playing Jesse James in the western ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’, due out in October.

Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen - including a love of motorbikes and fast cars - so it was a dream role for him.
