It’s a busy year for Brad Pitt, following the critical and box office success of F1, which might be getting a sequel. Coming up is David Fincher’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spinoff, The Adventures of Cliff Booth over at Netflix. And following that is Heart of the Beast, a survival adventure film that reunites Pitt with Fury director David Ayer.
GQ has dropped our first looks at Heart of the Beast, which stars Pitt as an ex-Navy SEAL who, along with his retired combat dog, attempts a return to civilization after a catastrophic plane crash in the dangerous Alaskan wilderness.
The script is by Cameron Alexander, and was on the Black List of best unproduced screenplays.
Joining Pitt in the cast are JK Simmons and Canadian Inuk actress Anna Lambe who will have a role in Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning.
“He’s a beast,” Ayer describes Pitt. “He was vulnerable and exposed himself in a way that I haven’t seen before. A constant theme from people who have seen the film is just how raw, believable, and profound his performance is.”
Paramount Pictures will release Heart of the Beast in theaters on September 25th.
