Brad Pitt has lined up his next major project, and it’s something of an unexpected reunion. Deadline reports Pitt will reunite with director David Ayer for the military survival adventure Heart of the Beast, which was announced last March.
Pitt will star in and produce Heart of the Beast through his Plan B label. The film, penned by Cameron Alexander, centers on a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog who battle for survival after a plane crash deep in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness.
Whiplash and Babylon director Damien Chazelle is aboard as a producer, along with Ayer.
Pitt and Ayer last worked together on the 2014 tank thriller, Fury, which earned $211M and numerous accolades. Coming up for Pitt is Joseph Kosinski’s anticipated racing thriller F1, opening this summer. He also has a reunion with George Clooney for Ocean’s 14, a sequel that has David Leitch eyeing the director role.
