Brad Pitt and his loyal German Shepherd companion will face bears, wolves, and the Alaskan wilderness together in Heart of the Beast.
The survival thriller is directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury) and written by Cameron Alexander.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) round out the cast.
Damien Chazelle produces with Olivia Hamilton via their Wild Chickens Productions, through its first-look deal with Paramount, along with Pitt for Plan B Entertainment, Ayer for Crave Films, and Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile, First Man).
Heart of the Beast is expected to be released in theaters later this year from Paramount.
