Brad Pitt will be playing the role of Lt. Frank Bullitt, a butt-kicking detective who’s hunting down a hitman who’s already killed a few of his fellow officers.* This film’s been in the works for a few years actually, with Pitt being fitted for it even then - apparently he shares a similar love for fast cars and*is looking foward to the role.

McQueen actually did all the driving, none of the high-tech CGI graphics of today - just pedal to the medal white-knuckle driving. Here’s a clip courtesy of YouTube for those that haven’t seen the original…
