Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black
Fans of supernatural romance and Brad Pitt are in for a treat this September. Prime Video is welcoming the two-time Oscar winner's fantastical 1998 film Meet Joe Black, which also stars the legendary Sir Anthony Hopkins, to the platform at the beginning of the month.
Directed by Martin Brest with a screenplay penned by Bo Goldman, Kevin Wade, Ron Osborn, and Jeff Reno, Meet Joe Black was based on the 1934 pre-Code romantic drama Death Takes a Holliday which, itself, was an adaptation of Alberto Casella's 1924 Italian play La morte in vacanza. The general concept of Death living among mortals to learn about them and falling in love in the process remains the same, but the Pitt-led feature takes some different cues to stand out.
Hopkins has enjoyed a remarkable career with The Silence of the Lambs, The Father, and The Remains of the Day among his roles, but Meet Joe Blackremains one of his most underrated performances. His emotional turn as Bill Parrish was hailed as a strength of the film, even earning him a Saturn Award nomination in the process. He, Pitt, and Forlani were also joined by Jake Weber, Marcia Gray Harden, Jeffrey Tambor, David S.
Pitt Has Another High-Profile Team-Up With an Oscar Winner Coming Soon Pitt's no stranger to working with fellow Academy Award recipients, and he'll have yet another big team-up coming very soon. On September 1, he'll join forces with George Clooney for Wolfs as the Jon Watts action comedy premieres at the Venice International Film Festival. They each play fixers hired for the same job who begrudgingly put their lone-wolf mentalities aside to complete their mission.
In the meantime, viewers can get their fix of Pitt when Meet Joe Black hits Prime Video on September 1. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on the biggest movies coming to streaming next month.
