Brad Pitt Signs on for 'Twelve Years a Slave'?

Brad Pitt is reportedly joining Steve McQueen�s upcoming film, Twelve Years a Slave, opposite Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Here�s the synopsis for the film, which is based on Solomon Northup�s 1853 autobiography: �Educated, married and living in New York, Northup was lured by a job offer in Washington only to be kidnapped and put in a slave pen, leading to years of enslavement under various owners. He finally earned back his freedom when a white Canadian carpenter who opposed slavery smuggled letters to Northup�s wife, which helped launch a court case that eventually set him free.�

Brad is also producing the film through his Plan B Entertainment company and �has been developing the project for years,� The Playlist reports.

Twelve Years A Slave marks Steve and Michael�s third film together - they first worked together on Hunger and have recently been promoting the sex addiction drama Shame.
