Is Brad Pitt coming to the UAE? Rumour has it he very well might be — and that he’ll be here for longer than an airport pit stop this time.

The star is rumoured to be filming part of his upcoming Netflix movie, War Machine, in the capital city, later this year.

Abu Dhabi production company twofour54 did not have a comment when reached by tabloid!.

“I’m humbled to be making a big, bold movie about the whole sprawling, complex, cumbersome and crazy machinery of modern war and the many lives it touches,” Pitt said in a press release. He will play the lead role of the army general, based on Stanley A. McChrystal. Pitt, who co-founded the production company Plan B in 2002, is also a producer on the film.

War Machine, a satirical film, is based on Michael Hastings’ 2012 book, The Operators: The Wild And Terrifying Inside Story Of America’s War In Afghanistan. It’s set to release in 2016.
