Brad back in a romantic role is just what the doctor ordered.

This reunites Pitt with New Regency which produced Oscar winning ’12 Years A Slave.’

Accomplished Zemeckis won the Oscar for directing Paramount’s 1994 blockbuster “FORREST GUMP,” and the groundbreaking film grossed $677 million worldwide and won six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for star Tom Hanks.
