It's Brad Pitt vs. Brad Pitt in "Chad Schmidt"

Sony Pictures has fallen for Steve Conrad's "Chad Schmidt" pitch. According to Variety, Sony paid $1+ million for Conrad's script and Brad Pitt's attached to star.

Pitt would play wannabe actor Chad Schmidt who journeys to LA in the late '80s to follow his dream of being a star. The problem is, Chad looks just like another young actor who's gaining recognition in the movie industry - Brad Pitt.

Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch will produce "Chad Schmidt." No announcement has been made as to when production will start.

Brad Pitt will next be seen starring opposite Angelina Jolie in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
