With six kids, Halloween is surely a big event for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s brood. So the Jolie-Pitt clan hit the streets in Malibu on Friday to do some trick or treating.

And Star can exclusively reveal four of the kids’ costumes! Maddox dressed as a marine with a helmet, Pax was a bat and Zahara chose a Jolly Green Giant outfit, says an eyewitness.

Shiloh, meanwhile, dressed as a sheriff. According to the eyewitness, she kept saying to Angie, “I want more candy, mom.” Angelina told her, “You’ll get more, there are more houses.” Shiloh whined, “I don’t want to walk,” so Brad picked her up.

Sounds like a typical family Halloween!

After turning Homer’s epic poem “The Iliad” into the 2004 film “Troy,” Warner Bros. and Brad Pitt are teaming with George Miller to adapt the Greek poet’s other masterwork, “The Odyssey.”

Their intention is to transfer the tale to a futuristic setting in outer space.

Warner Bros. has quietly set up “The Odyssey,” and the early hope is that Pitt will star and Miller will direct, with Pitt’s Plan B producing.Pitt played Achilles in the Wolfgang Petersen-directed “Troy,” a global blockbuster that David Benioff adapted from “The Iliad.”

Both Homer poems dealt with the Trojan War; “The Odyssey” focused on the exploits of Odysseus, who hatched the idea to build the Trojan Horse. “The Odyssey” deals with his long journey home after he declines to become a god.

Pitt will next be seen in the David Fincher-directed “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and the Terrence Malick-directed “Tree of Life.” He just began shooting the Quentin Tarantino-directed “Inglourious Basterds.”

Miller remains attached to direct “Justice League” at WB.

Just days after going to New Orleans with Angelina Jolie and the kids to visit the site of his environmentally friendly housing project Make it Right, Brad Pitt on Friday headed to the set of his new World War II drama Inglorious Bastards in Germany.

Pitt, 44, who plays Lt. Aldo Raine in the Quentin Tarantino-directed film, will be shooting in two locations outside Berlin: at a period farmhouse in a village outside of Dresden and in the spa town Bad Schandau.

Jolie, 33, and the couple’s children – who visited New York last week for the premiere of Jolie’s movie Changeling – are expected to leave the French chateau where the family has been living since May and join Pitt in Berlin.

Brad Pitt has donated 100,000 dollars to oppose a California referendum seeking to ban gay marriage, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Gay marriage has been legal in California since June.

But opponents of same-sex marriages collected enough signatures to force a referendum seeking to ban them. Called “Proposition 8,” it goes before voters in the most populous US state November 4.

“Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8,” the Times quoted Pitt as saying in a statement.
