Washington, Sept 29: Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt is all set to bring the story of a transsexual man to the small screen. However, the actor won’t be taking up the lead role.
Pitt is teaming up with TV series Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy to produce a TV show, titled ‘4 Oz’, about the life of a transsexual married sportswriter. The show will mark Pitt’s foray into the world of television.
Murphy, who has already begun writing the pilot for the show, revealed how it would progress.
"The first season deals with the revelation of his secret. In the second season, he begins dressing like a woman. The third covers the surgery, and his inherent doubts about going through with it, and by the fourth season, he's living as a woman and attempting to find love," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
The duo is hopeful that filming for the series will start by early 2007.
This is not the first time that Murphy will be working with Pitt, for he also directed the film ‘Running With Scissors’ which was backed by Pitt's Plan B production company.
Pitt’s firm is also producing ‘Dirty Tricks’, a drama Murphy wrote about eccentric Watergate scandal figure Martha Mitchell, who will be played by Hollywood superstar Meryl Streep.
