It features a photo from the photoshoot for People’s 50 Most Beautiful list back in 2007. I hope you all like the new look. Don’t forget to drop a comment before you leave. :)

Bana is the new Pitt

» March 23, 2008

Well, at least in the upcoming “The Time Traveler’s Wife” which originally was meant to be starring Brad Pitt and then-wife Jennifer Aniston. Continue reading for the article accompanying this title.

Eric Bana is set to star in two space-travel films, including one Pitt and ex-wife Jennifer Aniston had coveted for themselves before they split in 2005. Pitt, who is said to be obsessed about wanting to travel back in time, and Aniston had the rights to The Time Traveller’s Wife. But after they divorced, the rights to the story and the film roles came up for grabs.

“I was very fortunate to get that, as it was originally for Brad and Jennifer many years ago - it was their pet project before they broke up,” Bana said. “It’s a great screenplay and a much coveted role. It was completed just before Christmas and should be out later this year.”

Bana, 39, plays a librarian with a genetic disorder that causes him to time-travel when he is stressed. He said the film was “more a love story than a sci-fi flick”.

For sci-fi, he has the 11th instalment of the Star Trek movie enterprise, which began filming last year for release in 2009. Bana, who plays villain Nero, said he was not a Trekkie but loved the Star Trek series and the Nero character.

Bana said he was very excited about the two projects - The Time Traveller’s Wife and Star Trek XI - which are expected to cost more than $150 million to make.
