This is one of Brad Pitt’s very first appearances in the cinema. The movie is called “Cutting Class”, and it was released in 1989.
We will not do you the insult here by introducing you to Brad Pitt, XXL star of the seventh art who has filmed for the greatest for more than three decades, from Quentin Tarantino to David Fincher via Ridley Scott and Terrence Malick.
On the other hand, we can (perhaps) tell you something that you don’t know about the Hollywood star: one of his very first feature films was, like Johnny Depp with The Claws of night, a horror film!
The American actor, who we recently saw on the poster for Babylon (and who we recently revealed to you that he had not always been friends with Leonardo DiCaprio), actually began his career in a small slasher with a strong Nanardesque tendency entitled Cutting Class.
The role of Brad Pitt in this obscure Cutting Class? That of a popular basketball player suspected of being the killer who sows terror in a high school.

Glory after the nanar
Two years after this Cutting Classwhich went unnoticed to say the least when it was released but who then had a decent career on the video market by riding on the name of Brad Pitt, the young actor will be on the bill for Thelma and Louise by Ridley Scott. A feature film that will truly launch his career…
