More than ten years after working together on the World War II action drama Fury, Brad Pitt and David Ayer will re-team on the survival thriller film Heart of the Beast.
Heart of the Beast follows Pitt’s former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog who battle for survival after a plane crash deep in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness.
The project has been written by Cameron Alexander. Pitt will produce through his company Plan B Entertainment alongside Ayer through Crave Films and Damien Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton for Wild Chickens Productions. Alexander will serve as an executive producer.
