Hot off their Oscar Nominations for MONEYBALL Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill may be joining forces again for new film, TRUE STORY. Reports are that Hill is set to join James Franco in the movie based on a memoir of US journalist Michael Finkel, which Pitt will co-produce.
It looks as though Hill will be playing Finkel, a reporter for The New York Times who in 2002 discovered that one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, Christian Longo, had been living under his identity in Mexico. Subsequently, Finkel writes about his ordeal but is accused of fabricating elements of his article and fired as a result. Ill-fated, the reporter’s career quickly spirals; however, an unusual twist gives him a chance to revive his journalistic name when Longo seeks to prove his innocence through the only reporter he could possibly trust.
After his success with an Academy Award Nomination and on-screen chemistry with Pitt it’s likely that the role will only aid Hill in his attempts to carve a brilliant career both in and out of the comedy genre.

From that picture, can I assume that Jonah Hill will be playing the same character he always plays?
