Brad Pitt Has 4 oz. in the Palm of His Hand

Gay writer-director-producer Ryan Murphy obviously didn't feel he was busy enough as executive producer of Nip/Tuck and working with producer Brad Pitt as the writer-director of Running with Scissors, so he's gone and come up with yet another TV series.

And 4 oz. sounds like his most provocative project to date.

Over the course of several seasons, the show will follow a married sportswriter as he undergoes gender transformation and becomes a woman. (The title refers to the approximate weight of a penis, from which the lead character will eventually separate himself.)

Murphy will executive produce, alongside Pitt, who makes his first foray into series television.

The show will also focus on the sportswriter's conflicted teen sons.

No airdate has yet been set for the FX series, which promises to be fictional TV's most daring exploration of gender to date.
