The name in the credits had me jumping out my seat
Adolescence has been an insane hit for Netflix, and it had so much hype before it even came out. Most of that was down to the absolutely elite creative team working as a force behind it. If anyone watched Boiling Point, the film and the series, once you saw Philip Barantini would be directing Adolescence for Netflix in his trademark one shot style you just knew it was gonna bang. Add in the fact Stephen Graham is writing, producing and starring – with Jack Thorne backing him up with his pen. It’s all just been a massive success, but there’s one name that jumped out in the credits for Adolescence on Netflix and that is the fact that none other than Hollywood star Brad Pitt is right on there as a producer.
If you’re wondering if that’s THEE Brad Pitt and what the hell is he doing involved in such a British drama, here’s all you need to know about how he helped create Adolescence for Netflix.
It’s all to do with his business
Basically, Brat Pitt has a company where he produces shows and films as well as his acting gigs. Brad Pitt’s company is called Plan B Entertainment.
Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B Entertainment, has been behind some seriously amazing movies over the years. He started it in 2001 with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Grey, and it’s since become known for producing all kinds of unique, thought-provoking films. Plan B is all about creating stories that matter, whether it’s tackling big social issues or just offering something fresh and different to the audience.
Some of the standout films include 12 Years a Slave (which won Best Picture at the Oscars), The Big Short, Moonlight (another Best Picture win), and World War Z. The company isn’t just about big blockbusters either—it’s behind some pretty cool indie flicks too. Plan B’s also dipped into TV, with shows like The OA on Netflix.
What has Brad Pitt said about Adolescence?
It’s unclear how much direct involvement Brad Pitt would have had, but director Philip Barantini confirmed they did speak with Brad Pitt on the phone.
“Brad was on the phone with us, and he was so enthusiastic,” said Barantini.
