Brad Pitt is attached to star in Chad Schmidt, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film centers on a talented young actor who moves to Los Angeles in the 1980s to pursue his dream of movie stardom. The twist is that he bears a peculiarly strong resemblance to another up-and-coming actor named Brad Pitt. As the real Pitt achieves a dazzling level of fame, the fictional Schmidt, for all of his talent, becomes a comic uncastable joke. Ultimately, Schmidt must struggle to overcome the blow of abandoning his dreams and must make peace with the hard realities of life.

Steve Conrad who wrote the script and sold it to Columbia Pictures for more than $1 million is also credited for penning Columbia's "Pursuit of Happiness," Paramount's "The Weather Man" and Warner Bros. Pictures' "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway."
