Earlier
this
year,

was
named
as
the
possible
candidate
for
the
leading
man,
but
the
reports
were
shot
down
later.
Sources
claim
that
the
actor
was
not
to
sign
the
project
as
his
partner
Angelina
Jolie
did
not
to
work
simultaneously.
But
now,
he
is
about
to
finish
the
filming
for
World
War
Z.
So
he
is
in
negotiation
for
the
hero
role
in
the
movie
The
Gray
Man.
Adam
Cozad
has
been
roped
in
to
adapt
the
Mark
Greaney's

novel
for
the
big
screen.
Pitt's
Plan

partner
Dede
Gardner
will
serve
as
a
producer
along
with
Stephen
Garrett
of
Shine.
The
story
revolves
around
a
CIA
agent-turned-elite
assassin,
who
is
on
the
run
when
his
last
job
goes
bad.
While
dodging
the
forces,
who
are
out
to
get
him,
he
has
to
keep
his
family
safe.
However,
Brad
Pitt
has
earlier
acted
in
New
Regency's
Fight
Club
and
The
Gray
Man
will
be
his
second
movie
under
the
banner.
He
is
currently
shooting
for
World
War
Z.
After
finishing
it,
he
is
expected
to
take
up
this
new
project.
