According to AutoBlog.com, Ford got wind of the news and contacted Brad Pitt’s management and according to them they have no knowledge of Brad playing Steve McQueen in a Bullitt remake. I guess this was just a rumor started by Monsters and Critics. It sounded good when I read the news, oh well, just goes to show you can’t believe everything you read on the net. ****
The ‘Bullitt’ movie made famous by it’s wild chase scene with legendary Hollywood actor Steve McQueen driving a highland green 1968 390 GT Fastback Mustang is being remade with Brad Pitt starring as Lt. Frank Bullitt. The movie has been in development since 2003 but has recently been greelighted for production. It could be a coincedence or not but in 2008 is when a new Bullitt Mustang will be introduced. I would bet anything he will be driving a 2008 Bullitt in the movie through the streets of San Francisco chasing a new Dodge Charger like in the original.
No word has been given as to when filming will begin or who his other co-stars will be but I would guess they will be some top notch actors.
In the original Bullitt movie Steve McQueen plays to rough tough detective who is on the hunt for a hitman who killed his fellow officers. The movie is best known for it’s car chase scene through the streets of San Francisco.
