"Father" Brad Pitt Goes Sci Fi/Publicity Still

As Celebrity Examiner Liz Barrett tips us off that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want to increase their family to eight kids by next year, maybe Brad is considering a guy get-away. At least in fantasy, as Hollywood buzz has Brad heading for space as an adventuring Jesuit.

Brad will play Father Emilio Sandoz, a Jesuit scientist,who travels with a four-member crew to the newly-discovered world of Rakhat. The film is based on Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow.

Warner Brothers nabbed rights to the book for Brad's production company, Plan B. They tapped screenwriter Michael Seitzman to adapt the novel for the big screen.
