Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise haven’t worked together since Interview With The Vampire in 1994, but now they may get back together as THR reports that Brad Pitt is being courted to star alongside Tom Cruise in the auto racing drama, Go Like Hell.
Tom Cruise signed up for the project in October, with the film reuniting him with Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski. The actor is playing Ford auto designer Carroll Shelby, which follows Ford’s rivalry with Ferrari for supremacy at the annual 24-hour LeMans race. It’s based on A.J. Baime’s book Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans.

While that fell through, the actor remained interested and kept in touch with the new production team, even though he wasn’t officially attached any more. It’s now clear who Pitt may play.

That was due to massive budget overruns and a disastrous shoot, which went so badly that the entire third act needed to be reshot.
