Sometimes, when I?m looking at new photos of the Jolie-Pitt children, I do wonder if any of them will end up in the film industry, and if they?ll be able to carve out their own celebrity identities apart from their famous parents. I tend to think it will be easier for Vivienne and Shiloh, should they want to become actresses. They?ll end up pretty women, and if they get even one-tenth of their mom?s wild streak, they should pretty entertaining. But I?ve never really wondered about the boys - Maddox and Pax especially seem too quiet and thoughtful for the actor?s life. Angelina has even said, in several interviews, that Maddox seems destined for military life. So imagine my surprise at this odd report in this week?s National Enquirer. According to an insider, Maddox is obsessed with movies, he wants to become an actor, and Brad might cast him in a film adaptation of a graphic novel:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are out to make son Maddox?s greatest wish come true - by turning him into an action-film star! Maddox ?lives, eats and breathes? movies and animated features, said an insider, and he?s been begging his parents to help him land a big-screen role. Now it looks like Brad and Angie have found the perfect part for him!
According to the insider, Angelina is pushing hard to get Maddox the lead role in ?Battling Boy,? a science fiction epic being produced by Brad?s Plan B production company. They hope to begin filming next year.
Based on a graphic novel, ?Battling Boy? is about the young son of a god who leaves his immortal mountaintop home to fight monsters in the city of Monstropolis.
?Brad loved the project so much he bought the book almost a year before it was on the shelves,? revealed an insider. ?Brad and Angie think this is something Maddox can not only handle, but would do a great job on.?
?Maddox has been begging Brad and Angie for the chance to star in one of their movies,? added the insider ?They feel that this superhero project is the perfect first step for him.?

Empress Zahara does not approve, I fear. Sidenote: Zahara is the movie-star of the family, right? THAT FACE. Anyway, back to Maddox - I just don?t think that Angelina would want to throw any of her kids into a film project. Whatever you think of her, she?s not Dina Lohan, you know? Even if Maddox is begging to do something, I can?t see Brad handing him a lead role, either. I think it would be fine if Brad and Angelina let the kids take small parts in their movies, let the kids see what film-making is really like.
As for the industry side of this - The Enquirer isn?t The Hollywood Reporter. There?s an IMDB page for Battling Boy, and there?s industry gossip about the script (David Gordon Green was said to be working on the adaptation) and some legit outlets are going with the Enquirer?s rumor. I don?t know - it sounds odd to me.
