Washington: Brad Pitt is reportedly being lined up to star in the hostage drama ``The Mission``.
Warner Bros., who has obtained the rights to the film, wants the Hollywood heartthrob to take on the lead role with a script by Peter Landesman, reports Contactmusic.
The film tells the story of the methodical six-year mission planned by American and Colombian covert operatives to free 15 hostages from the Colombian jungle, who included three Americans and Ingrid Betancourt, once a candidate for President of Colombia.
The hostages - who were held by the Colombian guerrilla group FARC from between six and 15 years - were treated appallingly as they were moved around jungles and often chained to trees at night by their necks.
However, the main focus will be on Operation Jaque, a military action that resulted in the freedom of 15 hostages, which took place on July 2 2008.
While Pitt - who is busy shooting ``World War Z`` - is yet to sign up, Warner Bros. is keen to start shooting the movie as soon as possible.
