I love "The Office". I love Brad Pitt. But I have to say I don't think
he could play David Trent. That role is Ricky Gervais's forever!!!

Brad Pitt to play David Brent in The Office remake?
Brad Pitt has emerged as the unlikely favourite to take on Ricky
Gervais's role as David Brent in a US remake of The Office.
Ironically, Gervais joked that either Pitt or George Clooney should play
him in the US version.
However, TV bosses seem to have taken him seriously, and have approached
Pitt to take on the role.
Channel 4 quoted a TV insider as saying: "Brad's really into British
comedy. He loves Monty Python and things like that.
"He's seen The Office and thinks it's brilliant, and he's been
approached by the team to take the lead role.
"As a fan he could insist on keeping the basic premise of the programme
and make himself less attractive."
