Well the 49 year-old actor has hit the big screen again, but the question on the lips of fans is, could this be his last appearance in a movie? Are the fans soon going to have to cope without that charming smile and cute accent? On 30th August 2013, Pitt’s new movie ”12 Years A Slave” debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, and on Friday 6th September 2013 the movie made its official premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival held at the Princess Of Wales Theatre, already gaining a substantial amount of Oscar buzz.
Mr. Pitt was in great spirits throughout the evening of the movie premiere, and when asked about the Oscar Buzz on the red carpet, he quipped, ”they all desreve it, every one of these performances is worthy”. He also expressed his gratitude for the rave reviews in a Q & A after the premiere, saying, ”I just have to say, if I never get to participate in a film again, this was it for me. It was a privilege”.
Following the much applauded premiere, the cast hit downtown Toronto to celebrate, first with a cast dinner at Hudson Kitchen followed by an impromptu late night party at the Thompson Hotel, where they enjoyed the rooftop view and a few well-deserved cocktails.
The movie ”12 Years A Slave” is based on the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man, who was abducted and sold into slavery pre-civil war. The movie also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, who played the lead role, as well as Michael Fassbender and Paul Giamatti. Brad Pitt both produced and played a supporting role in the film, which was directed by Steve Mcqueen. We know that Mr. Pitt is more or less a family man cum humanitarian now, but while he congratulate him on this critically-acclaimed movie, we can only hope that he doesn’t trade movie shoots for full time diaper-changing anytime soon.
