Brad Pitt Adopts a 'Boy'

Brad Pitt Adopts a 'Boy'

Paramount has acquired the graphic novel "Battling Boy" for Brad Pitt's Plan B shingle. According to Variety, Plan B would produce the adaptation of the Paul Pope comic, though First Second Books isn't expected to release "Battling Boy" until spring of 2010.

The trade paper says the plot focuses on "the son of a god or superhero who comes down from the top of a mountain at his father's behest in order to rid a giant city of monsters." Or something like that.

Pope won multiple Eisner Awards for "Batman: Year 100."

Among the projects in development at Plan B are adaptations of "Black Hole" and "World War Z."

Most recently seen in the dark comedy "Burn After Reading," Pitt stars in this winter's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." He's currently working on Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards."
