Offers Out to Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf for ‘Riptide’

Quick one here, but Summit, in the not-so-long stretch before Twilight expires in the rosy two-fisted film fan-gasm that (might) be Breaking Dawn, is coming up with new projects. One is said to be Riptide, a sort of closed door mystery that takes place on a ship called the Nautica. Three people are involved or, as it were, victimized: “a handyman, a young stock broker, and the stock broker’s girlfriend. One of the men is found dead floating in the sea. The girlfriend is found at a nearby hotel. An investigator is called in to figure out what happened and why.”


That’s from Pajiba, and the site says that the interesting part isn’t that Peter “Frost/Nixon” Morgan has rewritten Richard McBrien’s script, but that offers are out to Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf for the lead male roles. Are they going to bite? Quite possibly not. That’s the dodgy part about ‘an offer is out to…’ stories.

Not as interesting as Shia's other potential next project Triple Nine but a tight little whodunit could be fun, especially with Pitt as the detective, stepping into something a bit different too most of his recent stuff.

That sounds like it could very cool.

Hi,

At first I thought it was about a movie version of the TV show Riptide.
