Pitt prepares to tear himself away from twins

Brad Pitt has decided to return to France each weekend while he films his new movie Inglorious Bastards in Berlin this autumn.

The Quentin Tarantino war film, which will also star director Eli Roth as a Nazi hunter, is expected to go into production in October.

Sources close to Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie have admitted that it will be difficult for the actor to leave his newborn twin children, who arrived at a French hospital last month.

One insider told the Daily Mail: "Brad will only work Monday to Friday so that he can fly back to France at the weekend to see Angelina and the kids."

Pitt and Jolie recently sold the first pictures of the twins to Hello! magazine.
