Report says movie based off RockStar's western in production.
 
According to a report by ShowBizSpy.com, Brad Pitt is the leading candidate to play the role of John Marston in an upcoming movie based off the Red Dead Redemption videogame.
 
"This is an exciting project with a great character at the center of it," a source told the website. "The idea is to make this in the style of an epic Western movie but with a few modern touches.
 
"Brad is perfect for the role and he is being given first refusal."
 
When asked about the report, Rockstar Games told IGN the studio does not comment on rumor or speculation.
 
If true, a Red Dead Redemption movie should come as no surprise to fans. The game shipped five million copies worldwide only a month after it released, and will likely be one of this year's best-selling titles.
