Report Brad Pitt to join Tom Cruise in Go Like Hell
Call us optimistic, but it seems that a golden age of racing movies could be upon us once again. After classics like Le Mans and Grand Prix gave way to cheeseballs like Days of Thunder and Driven, the past few years have given us the epic documentary Senna and the recent blockbuster Rush. And the next great racing movie could be speeding around the corner.
That movie is called Go Like Hell, a film adaptation of the AJ Baime book about the epic showdown between Ford and Ferrari at Le Mans in the 1960s. Just a couple of months ago we brought you news that Tom Cruise had signed on to play Carroll Shelby, and now the buzz on the streets of Hollywood has it that Brad Pitt has signed on as well.
Just what roll Pitt would play in the movie remains to be seen, but he was reportedly first approached about the project when Michael Mann was in the directors chair. Now that Oblivion director Joseph Kosinki has taken over, Pitt has reportedly signed on the dotted line.

BlackBerry A10 to be game focused and shaped like a Samsung Galaxy S4
Echoing what an industry insider informed us last month, multiple trusted sources of BGRs have claimed that the forthcoming BlackBerry A10 smartphone is going to be the most capable, powerful BlackBerry yet with a media-friendly 5-inch Super AMOLED display.
More interestingly, the BlackBerry A10 will come with "a huge focus on gaming."
Despite being geared towards "power and gaming," the A10 will only come with a dual-core processor. Apparently, BlackBerry has been unable to make the jump to a quad-core architecture - either due to concerns over battery life or because of difficulties optimising BlackBerry 10 for a quad-core setup.
Still, this dual-core CPU will reportedly be backed by a healthy 2GB of RAM, and the BlackBerry A10 will apparently adopt the same silicon as the iPhone, with separate CPU and GPU processors. In the iPhones case, this has certainly resulted in a string of highly capable gaming smartphones.
The report also has something to say about the BlackBerry A10s design. Itll apparently closely resemble the Samsung Galaxy S4, though if anything itll be larger. Its also described as being "more rounded and less aggressive-looking" than the BlackBerry Z10.
Its claimed that we can expect to see the BlackBerry A10 launching some time this autumn.
