Brad Pitt as John Marston?
A Red Dead Redemption movie starring Brad Pitt?

That could be the case. According to reports, Brad Pitt has been given the first rights of refusal to play the starring role as John Marston in a Red Dead Redemption movie.

Although this, of course, means that he also has the right to refuse the role. But he will be the one to star in it before any other actor.

To quote:

“This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it,” a source said. “The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches. Brad is perfect for the role and he is being given first refusal.”

Here is what Brad Pitt looks like as a cowboy in the Western Drama “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”
