'Easygoing’ Brad Pitt Can Become ‘Volatile When Riled,’ Director Says

In an excerpt from Zwick’s new memoir, Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood, the director wrote that it fell to producer Marshall Herskovitz to talk Pitt, 60, “off the ledge” when the actor “wanted to quit.” Based on a 1979 book of the same name, Legends of the Fall centered around three brothers — Tristan (Pitt), Alfred ( Aidan Quinn) and Samuel ( Henry Thomas) — and their father, Colonel William Ludlow ( Anthony Hopkins), who all reside in the wilderness in Montana. “Sometimes, no matter how experienced or sensitive you are as a director, things just aren’t working,” Zwick noted, claiming that Pitt “would get edgy” when they were about to film a scene that “required him to display deep emotion.”
