Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Son Maddox to Land Lead Role in Battling Boy

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Son Maddox to Land Lead Role in Battling Boy

Jaden Smith (Will Smith/Jada Pinkett Smith's son) has some competition for Hollywood nepotism, and his name is Maddox.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper:
"The film is based on a graphic novel about the young son of a god who leaves his mountain-top home to fight monsters.

"It's being produced by Brad's Plan B production company. Maddox lives, eats and breathes movies and comic books, so Brad and Angelina thought he would be perfect for the starring role."


The graphic novel was written and illustrated by Paul Pope, and the script is being written by Watchmen co-writer, Alex Tse. The story sounds like a mix of Percy Jackson and Clash of the Titans. I will expect plenty of annoyingly bad child acting mixed with hysterically poor cgi monsters. Sounds like a winner.

Let's call it like it is. Daddy Brad Pitt owns a production company and his son wants to make a movie where he is a superhero. Thus Brad scoops up some silly graphic novel that centers on a child protagonist and that's his birthday gift. I got G.I. Joe toys for my birthday, this kid gets a movie. Jealous? Oh yeah. It's not like talent should be rewarded, this is the real world. One negative for Maddox, he'll never date a woman as good looking as his mom and that's a Freudian nightmare.

Wow your jealousy above astounding. How do you know the kid can't act? Plus Angelina Jolie is not nearly as hot as people make her out to be especially since she actually started showing her age.

I agree with JatevinM you come off real jealous, and I wouldn't have expected that from you Nailbiter. Both parents are great actors IMO much better than the other hollywood's couple that exploits their kids Will and Jada. I have high hopes for the kid.

Karate Kid ring any bells? it was terrible. Big Willy did the same for his kid and now this. Can't wait for Ozzy's daughter to make a album. Wait that happened to.

Paul Pope is a friend and a genius in his own right, and BATTLING BOY is as much an inspired choice for a film as, for instance, Scott Pilgrim..

And as JatevinM suggested, how DO you know that the kid can't act? In case you haven't noticed, he's being raised by 2 very talented (albeit one more than the other) actors with a lot of experience.

Let's not sh!t on it just yet.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Also we probably wouldn't know about Angelina Jolie if her father wasn't John Voight and thus the chain continues.

If I had a movie production company, my son, if he wanted to, would be in movies too. Simple as that.

-doubt he can act. Jaden Smith can't act so why should we expect anything better from him?
-Jolie is NOT that hot
-Brad Pitt should be Sentry.

Brad is an incredible actor and Angelina is fantastic as well. Brad is also an awesome Director and his production company is pretty awesome. I think this could be an amazing movie....

"-doubt he can act. Jaden Smith can't act so why should we expect anything better from him?"

uh...because they're two different people from two different families and have absolutely nothing to do with each other? i mean...

I've been waiting anxiously for Battling Boy for years now. Paul Popes is hands down the best auteur in comics. Glad to hear this movie is getting made.

Why so angry Debbie?

well, nailbiter111's right, so what's the problem? i don't have a problem with hollywood nepotism, since that's pretty much how the majority of the people make it, but its not like what nailbiter111 said is a lie.

that picture of Maddox and his mom up there, looks like something of an old 70/60s photo. Something that if HE was a big star now, we'de look back on and get that nostalgic feel.

It definitely shows that even though her acting isn't ALWAYS top notch..she IS one this generations classic actresses. Hopefully Maddox Pitt will be an even better actor than both of his parents. Give them that..Hollywood royalty feel. Like other acting families

Angeline is really hit and miss with her movies. her last 3 movies were Kung Fu Panda 2, The Tourist, and Salt.

biter exactly what roles did Jaden Butcher?
he was in 3 films.
he got high praise from a lot of people for The Karate Kid.
The Pursuit of happiness he was 8.
and The Day The Earth Stood Still sucked on all fronts.

and as for Angelina Jolie showing her age and all this she's "NOT" that hot bs. what kinda drugs are you cats doing, and where can i purchase them?

he's got a mum i'd like to... you know ;)

But yeah, why act all jealous of the kid?
plus, I wouldnt be so sure about it being a bad film, as you seem to think it will be. I mean dont get me wrong, it very well could be, but remember Brad Pitt (and Im guessing Plan B Productions) produced the Kick-Ass film.

I don't think that kid will have any problem hooking up with his mom. They aren't blood related and she has already made out with her own brother, so what's to stop her from making out with some orphan kid she brought home from Kuala Lumpur or wherever.

"Mama?"

"Yes, hon..."

"Did you just make air-potty?"

"Shut it! Do you want the role or not?"
