Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in Morocco to shoot 'Babel'

Cinema icon Brad Pitt, Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal will be starring together in Babel, a drama directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, and currently shot in Ouarzazate.

The drama will reteam Inarritu with screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga. The two also collaborated on 21 Grams and Amores Perros.

Blanchett won a best supporting actress Oscar for her performance in The Aviator.

The drama, produced by Paramount Pictures, is about three interweaving stories taking place in Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Japan.

This is the first time that Blachett will be united with "The Mexican" leading star, Pitt, who already had an opportunity to shoot on a Morocco location in 2001 for Tony Scott's Spy Game.
