According to Showbizspy.com (via IGN) Brad Pitt is the top pick to star in an upcoming Red Dead Redemption movie. A source told the site Pitt would be perfect for the role of RDR protagonist John Marston and “he is being given first refusal."
“This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it,” the source added. “The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches." Showbizspy.com described the movie as "an epic cowboy shoot-em-up based on the PlayStation game."
When asked about the movie, Rockstar Games told IGN.com the studio does not comment on rumor or speculation.

Wow thats pretty cool always knew they would make a movis just hope they don't girly pansy it out, nothing like a good old fashioned shoot'm up western! if onlt clin eastwood was younger he would be awesome!
I kind of think a movie would ruin the series a bit. Kind of like selling out.

I agree, if people want to know the story of John Marston they should play the game.

The fact they're offering Pitt the role rather than someone more suited to playing a grizzled gunslinger looks to me that they're not taking it very seriously as far as tribute to the source material. The man is a brilliant actor but I don't see him as Marston. I'm happy to be proven wrong though.
They must be kidding. I mean it was a fairly big game I guess but it wasn't THAT big.

Yeah definitely not movie big. Same with Uncharted in my opinion.

How are they gonna make it into a movie? The storyline was pretty basic and by no means will take up a 1.5 hour time slot.
Unless they are planning to draw it out by showing Brad Pitt skin countless bears, harvest a few herbs, shoot a dozen birds etc etc..
