Following Moneyball, Pitt went onto produce several more films, including the Anne Hathaway/JJ Gilliam vehicle, Brazil. After that, he decided to pursue his acting career by producing the TV show, The Firm. The series managed to become one of the best-selling television shows in history, and would go on to spawn a number of spinoffs, including a version starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. After that, he produced the biopic of Bob Marley, which was an incredibly successful and Oscar-winning film. After that, he decided to focus on less mainstream roles, and concentrate on producing artistic films instead.
As time went on, Pitt began to grow disenchanted with Hollywood, which led him to make several more movies that failed to meet expectations. One such film was the hit film, Seabiscuit, which came from Pitt and his longtime producing partner, Steven Soderbergh. Seabiscuit was a critical and box-office hit and helped to make way for the resurgence of animated films, like Finding Nemo. However, it would be decades later before Pitt would produce another film in this genre. Instead, he would focus more on dramas.
However, after decades of producing successful and influential films, Pitt would finally produce a hit film in 2021 with the movie World In Motion. The film, which starred Pitt as a World War II plane fighter pilot that was shot down during the war, went on to become one of the best war action films of all time. In the years since, other Pitt films have been produced, most notably the award-winning Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. However, after this film was released, the star moved on to focus more on acting, rather than producing films. While the lack of films might have been frustrating to some, considering the quality of his work, it proves that there are no limits to Brad Pitt’s ambitions.
