Paramount Pictures heeft een releasedatum van 25 september vastgelegd voor zijn aankomende survivalthriller Heart of the Beast. De studio maakte de aankondiging op woensdag, waarbij de film wordt gepositioneerd voor een druk herfstweekend dat concurrentie omvat van een DreamWorks-animatiefilm en een grote Marvel-heruitgave.
The movie will hit theaters on September 25. It faces off against Forgotten Island, a DreamWorks production starring Dave Franco and Jenny Slate, along with the re-release of Marvel's Avengers: Endgame. The timing places the project in a high-stakes slot during the fall movie season.
Written by Cameron Alexander, the story follows a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog. The pair must fight for survival after their plane crashes deep in the harsh Alaskan wilderness. The premise highlights themes of resilience and partnership in extreme conditions.
Director David Ayer teams up again with Brad Pitt for the first time since their 2014 World War II drama Fury. The new project arrives after Pitt's lead role in the Oscar-nominated Apple film F1. J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe round out the principal cast.
Producers include Olivia Hamilton, Marty Bowen, Ayer and Pitt. Executive producers are Damien Chazelle, Scott Lumpkin, Cameron Alexander, Chris Long, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary, Sophie Cassidy and Zack Conroy.
