There are more big names being added for the Richard Nixon film Dirty Tricks. Now the report from the writer/director is that Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone and Jim Broadbent have all signed up for the film. The cast already includes Annette Bening, Gwyneth Paltrow, Meryl Streep and Jill Clayburgh, and looks set to be a very strong film.

Speaking to /Film through Coming Soon, Ryan Murphy tells us that this film is really more about the women behind the men who were involved in the Watergate scandal, and IMDB says:

The wife of Richard Nixon's attorney general comes to her husband's defense in the aftermath of Watergate.

The cast sounds really exciting on this film. Is it just me or are there more and more big name ensemble casts being announced than ever before?
