Brad Pitt shortlisted for He-Man role
Brad Pitt has been shortlisted for the lead role in the new He-Man film, although he may have to change his body image.

The team behind the latest Superman remake, Legendary Pictures, are to make a feature length film out of the 80s cartoon, and are keen to involve the Fight Club star.

A source told The Sun: "They are very keen on Brad for the role. He'll have to bulk up though - he's very fit, but not to He-Man proportions."

According to the newspaper, the film bosses also have a possible back-up for the role - Gerald Butler, who plays the leading role in 300.
