Pitt skips premiere amid family anguish
Print Edition
A PRODUCER says “we all respect his privacy” as Brad Pitt skipped his first public appearance after last week’s split with Angelina Jolie Pitt. He didn’t attend the premiere of Terrence Malick’s new documentary on Wednesday as scheduled.
Pitt, who narrates “Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience,” said in a statement on Wednesday that he’s grateful to have been part of the project, but is “currently focused on my family situation and don’t want to distract attention away from this extraordinary film.”
Producer Sophokles Tasioulis said outside the California Science Center IMAX Theater that he understood Pitt’s absence.
“Right now, he’s in a very difficult situation personally. And we want people to come here for the movie, not for what is going on behind the scenes in Brad’s personal life,” Tasioulis said. “So I think it was a good decision by him. And we all respect his privacy.”
Pitt is also credited as producer on the film. Malick directed him in the Oscar-nominated 2011 family drama “Tree of Life” and producer Sarah Green said the two are “great friends.”
Pitt has yet to file a response in the divorce case. Jolie Pitt cited irreconcilable differences in her September 20 filing to end their two-year marriage, and she is seeking sole custody of the couple’s six children.
The FBI says it’s continuing to evaluate whether to investigate Pitt’s reported involvement in a fight aboard a private jet carrying his family on September 14. The incident led to allegations that Pitt was abusive to his 15-year-old son.
