Prized Director In Talks for ‘All You Need Is Kill’
There’s nothing more exciting than having a big name attached to a project you’re excited for. Heat Vision revealed that The Bourne Identity, Go and Swingers director Doug Liman has bubbled to the top to potentially direct All You Need Is Kill at Warner Bros. The development sets up a potential internal war over the helmer’s services. In the vein of Groundhog Day, a new soldier is sent into battle an alien race known as Gitai only to die and find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. He learns a bit more with each reincarnation that could ultimate save the day.
From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
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.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
