About this audiobook
As one of the world's biggest and best-known movie stars, Brad Pitt is
spending as much time helping get films made as he is acting. His latest
project, Ad Astra, is about a journey to the far reaches of the solar
system, as well as the journey inward for a tortured soul. Pitt sits down
with Jeffrey Brown to discuss his career, and why he helps make movies when
he’s not the star.
