It's what all the cool kids are doing . . .

It seems all the cool kids these days are starting up their own production companies. Leonardo Dicaprio, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Natalie Portman, Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are just a few of the A-list celebs who have been using their hard earned millions to start up production companies. Personally I think it’s great to see these guys put something back in to the industry which they have got so much from. So I've decided to do a series on some of the companies out there as there's simply too much content for one post. There will be a new production company featured each day with a run down on the motivations behind their start ups and a complete filmography. To start of the series who better than Mr Chiseled Abs himself, Brad Pitt and his baby Plan B Entertainment.

Plan B Entertainment

Run down:
Talk about awkward . . . Brad Pitt and then wifey Jennifer Aniston founded this production company along with the CEO of Paramount Brad Grey. The company has had some pretty major hits considering its short history. Aniston withdrew from the company when she divorced Pitt and he started having babies with another, hotter woman. Like most of these companies they tend to produce films in which the actor stars. Plan B currently has a deal with Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros and 20^th Century Fox.
