Brad Pitt Debuts Furniture Collection

The actor-design buff partners with Frank Pollaro on some dozen pieces to be unveiled Nov. 13.

Brad Pitt has long harbored an affinity for architecture and design. Now the actor-activist-father of six can count himself as a designer with the launch of his new furniture collection next week.

Pitt collaborated on some dozen pieces -- including tables, chairs and a bed with a tropical-hardwood frame that took two years to make -- with Frank Pollaro, a furniture maker based in New Jersey who specializes in Art Deco style. The collaboration will be revealed Nov. 13 through Nov. 15 in New York, according to Architectural Digest, which posted a photo of the two working together at the shaggy-maned star's French chateau.

The customizable designs will be available "in numbered editions or limited production and signed by Pitt and Pollaro. Though Pollaro declines to discuss specific figures, he notes that his prices are 'typically at the highest end of the custom-furnishings scale, and these will be up there, even north of that,'" the magazine reports.

"I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered [Charles Rennie] Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright," Pitt says. "Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It forever changed my life."

A collector of modern and contemporary furniture, Pitt regularly works alongside architects for his Make It Right Foundation to rebuild homes in New Orleans' Lower Night Ward.
Several years ago, Pollaro took notice of Pitt's sketches while installing a desk commissioned by the actor. "I asked him, 'Why don’t we make some of this stuff real?' Brad said he thought that could be fun," he recalls.

The pair have established a fine rapport. In his interview with Architectural Digest, Pitt confesses he's "bent on quality to an unhealthy degree" and praises Pollaro as embodying "the same mad spirit of the craftsmen of yore, with their obsessive attention to detail. It just so happens Frank and I speak the same language. And we both have a predilection for far too much wine."

Besides furniture-creating, Pitt is spinning multiple plates of late. He's the spokes-celebrity for Chanel No. 5 (see: Saturday Night Live's highly amusing parody) and, last week, he donated $100K to support the Human Rights Campaign's marriage equality efforts. As for acting (multi-tasker! over-achiever!), his latest film, Andrew Dominik’s Killing Them Softly, premieres Nov. 30.

Brad Pitt to get his zombie on.

Brad Pitt is now officially tied to star in a zombie movie.

"World War Z" isn't the only zombie story from author Max Brooks headed for the big screen — both "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks" graphic novel have also been optioned for adaptation.

While chatting up Brooks at the Avatar Press booth, the writer confirmed to MTV News that the adaption of his novel about the zombie apocalypse is not only moving forward, but Brad Pitt is now officially attached to star in the film. Additionally, Brooks revealed that Paramount has optioned the movie rights to "Zombie Survival Guide" and "Recorded Attacks."

Yes, Comic-Con is barely underway in San Diego and we already have some big news from the show floor!

Pitt's production company Plan B Entertainment first secured the rights to "World War Z" back in 2007 after a bidding war with Leonardo DiCaprio's company, Appian Way. The actor has long been rumored as a potential lead for the film, but Brooks received the call confirming Pitt's attachment (and the other "Survival Guide" deals) while signing copies of the books at the Avatar booth tonight (Wednesday, July 21) during Preview Night at Comic-Con.

"I can't believe how cool Paramount has been to me and these projects, and how cool Plan B has been," said Brooks.

According to Brooks, the studio is currently targeting a Summer 2012 release for "World War Z," which chronicles a worldwide zombie outbreak through the first-hand accounts of survivors. The original screenplay was penned by J. Michael Straczynski, but was later rewritten by Matthew Michael Carnahan.

Brooks said the studio recently received a new draft of the "World War Z" script, and "Quantum of Solace" director Marc Forster is still attached to direct the film.

"I'm glad they took their time, and are trying to make the best zombie movie they can," said Brooks. "I'm so glad they stayed with the project and so glad they found the right team."

Of the two new books optioned by Paramount, "The Zombie Survival Guide" offers instructions for surviving an attack by the living dead, while "Recorded Attacks" chronicles some of the major battles that occurred in the war against zombies. The "Recorded Attacks" graphic novel was published through a partnership with Random House and Avatar Press.

"I'm thrilled for all of Max's success," said Avatar editor-in-chief William Christensen, who also served as the "Recorded Attacks" editor. "I'm looking forward to all of the other projects we're working on with him in the coming years, too."
