Hollywood megastar Brad Pitt has been tipped to star in a new movie based on Red Dead Redemption.

According to Showbiz Spy, Pitt "is the hot favorite to play renegade outlaw John Marston in an epic cowboy shoot-em-up based on the PlayStation game".

Pitt hasn't commented on the story. But a source was quoted as saying, "This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches.

"Brad is perfect for the role and he is being given first refusal."

But what if Brad says no? We vote Ben Fogle for second choice.
