Does Brad Pitt die in Cool World?
He plays Frank Harris.
Want to guess first?
Revealing shows only the answer. Everything else stays behind its own curtain.
Yes.
He does not make it to the credits. It happens at the climax.
How it happens, in words. No pictures yet.
Holli shoves him off a Vegas hotel roof. Then he's reborn as a cartoon.
Detective Frank Harris, a WWII vet stuck in the animated Cool World since 1945, tries to stop Holli Would from escaping into the real world. In the climax atop the Union Plaza Hotel, Holli pushes him off the building to his death. But a 'noid' killed by a 'doodle' in the real world is reborn as a doodle, so Frank returns to Cool World as a cartoon and can finally be with Lonette.
Dies as a human, resurrected as an animated character. Counts as a death with a happy loophole.
