Brad Pitt could be “volatile” and “edgy” on the set of the 1994 Western romance Legends Of The Fall, according to the film’s director, Edward Zwick.

Zwick’s new memoir, Hits, Flops, And Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years In Hollywood, is being released next week, and the book’s publisher Vanity Fair shared some choice excerpts on Tuesday (Feb 6), including some critical comments about the actor.
