While promoting his highly anticipated new “cerebral” sci-fi film “Ad Astra” at the 2019 Venice Film Festival on Wednesday, superstar actor Brad Pitt commented on one of the hot button issues of the day, so-called “toxic masculinity,” though the star avoided specifically using the loaded phrase.
The actor’s comments were prompted by one of the key themes of his new film, which has been three years in the making and which will make its world premiere at the festival Thursday. The film focuses on the journey of Pitt’s character, Roy McBride, to a colony in Neptune to try to save the solar system from a potentially cataclysmic event. The man behind the threat, as the trailer reveals, appears to be his highly celebrated astronaut father, played by Tommy Lee Jones.
