PITT AND PALTROW REUNITE FOR FILM

Former lovers BRAD PITT and GWYNETH PALTROW are reuniting on the big screen for a feature film about former US President RICHARD NIXON.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt at the premiere of 'The Devils Own'. New York - 03/03/1997

The couple, who were engaged in 1996, previously starred together in the thriller SEVEN.

NIP/TUCK director RYAN MURPHY has also just cast , SHARON STONE and JIM BROADBENT in DIRTY TRICKS.

The film also features MERYL STREEP playing MARTHA MITCHELL, the wife of Nixon's Chief of Staff JOHN MITCHELL.

Paltrow will play MAUREEN DEAN, who stood by her husband JOHN, another member of the Nixon team, as the administration slowly sank into scandal, according to moviehole.net.

ANNETTE BENING, who is starring in Murphy's upcoming film RUNNING WITH SCISSORS along with Paltrow, will play a White House correspondent who received leaked information.

Murphy says, "It's about the women in Watergate, it's very different than RON HOWARD's upcoming Frost/Nixon.

"I love Ron Howard's movie. That was about what a nightmare Nixon was to get the rights for the (DAVID) FROST interview and the negotiations back and forth for that.

"But that movie is really about a woman who said our government is corrupt, and 'Why is no one believing me? Why is no one seeing that this Tricky Dicky Nixon is insane?'

"I also think it's the perfect time to make this movie. We'll shoot in the fall (2007) and put it out next fall (2008)."
