Brad Pitt to Star in Upcoming Film Named "The Tiger"

Brad Pitt and director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) have set up the adventure thriller "The Tiger" at Focus Features and have hired Guillermo Arriaga (21 Grams, Babel) to pen the script.

"The Tiger," which is based on an upcoming nonfiction book by John Vaillant, takes place on the Siberian plain, where human development is encroaching on the tigers' habitat -- and one tiger turns on the intruders. With townspeople being tracked and hunted with an almost supernatural power, a conservationist game warden must face down the tiger. It is a fight that only one of them can win.

Pitt and Arriaga have previously worked together on "Babel." Pitt and Aronofsky were attached to "The Fighter" before both dropped out, and Pitt nearly starred in Aronofsky's "The Fountain," but he eventually abandoned that project.
