The seemingly deadly combination of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie isn't quite enough to push along the production of their upcoming Atlas Shrugged. The movie is firmly stuck in the pre-production phase, with no director, no supporting cast, and no real plan. Jolie had this to say about the current quagmire:

"the thing with Atlas is just, we all feel that it's one of those projects where if you can't do it right, you really can't touch it. So we have not had all the pieces come together. There's not been a director that's right to come on, or all of those elements. So until it does, you know, I certainly don't want to be a part of something that's just put together to hit 'this date.'"

Plodding prudence is all well and good, but if it gets in the way of making what could potentially be a pretty exciting film, perhaps someone might light a damn fire! Then again, I'm certainly not in a "light a fire under Angelina" position…
