Jonah Hill Cast in Brad Pitt-Produced Film

Deadline has the story today that Jonah Hill will indeed be reuniting with his Moneyball co-star, Brad Pitt, but unfortunately for fans of the Oscar-nominated baseball film it will not be in front of the camera.  Brad Pitt has tapped Hill to star alongside James Franco in a film that he is producing called True Story.  Based on a memoir by New York Times journalist Michael Finkel, the Rupert Goold-directed feature centers around the journalist (Hill) who loses his job after falsifying elements of a story, but finds a shot at redemption when an accused murderer (Franco) insists on talking only to Finkel.

Update 3/29: It’s being reported that New Regency is set to finance the film.  Production is set to begin in July and Fox has been named the distributor.
