Pinkville Update

Been a little while since I’ve heard any news on Oliver Stone’s upcoming ‘Pinkville’ film on the ‘68 My Lai Massacre…

He still has a chance, especially if he takes the part of Lt. William Calley in Oliver Stone’s Pinkville. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s currently in talks for the role, and if he’s smart he’ll just go ahead and grab it. Calley is the central figure in the Vietnam war film, which deals with the investigation into the 1968 Mai Lai Massacre; the Army officer was the one found guilty of giving the orders that sparked the incident. Pitt would join an ensemble cast that already includes Bruce Willis (or as I like to call him, Bruce Billis), Channing Tatum (another young actor continually teetering on the verge of stardom), Michael Peña (previously seen in Stone’s World Trade Center), Woody Harrelson and Xzibit, who just joined on this week. Also joining the film is Toby Jones (Infamous), who will portray Lt. Andre Feher, the chief warrant officer who tries to convince Willis’ character, Gen. William Peers, that the U.S. Army is responsible for the massacre.
