Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton are set to team up for the film "Peace Like A River." Pitt is producing the movie through his production company, Plan B, and Thornton is set to star in the drama to be shot in Canada. Sources tell the Calgary Sun newspaper, "There's a good sense (in the local industry) that it's coming."

Pitt filmed The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford in southern Alberta, Canada, last autumn. Local residents have speculated Pitt's new daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was conceived while Jolie was visiting the actor during filming.

Location managers from the new film have visited Calgary to scout for locations to shoot the movie, which is set to begin production in the autumn. Thornton met Jolie on the set of the movie Pushing Tin and the two were married from 2000-2003.

According to the Calgary Sun, Pitt's behind-the-scenes involvement would mean the actor would be required on set for at least a few days during the shoot. The film is based on Leif Enger's book and follows a Minnesota family in the 1960s who are tormented by two neighborhood thugs.
