Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are in negotiations to team up for Babel, a drama that Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is directing and Paramount Pictures is in the final stages of acquiring. The drama will reteam Inarritu with screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga. The two also collaborated on "21 Grams" and "Amores Perros."

Babel will portray four interweaving stories set in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan. The action starts with a tragedy striking a married couple on vacation.

Pitt next will be seen in 20th Century Fox/Regency Enterprises' "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," while Blanchett can be seen in "Little Fish."
