Berger also teased his next project, A24 drama The Riders, which he is gearing up to shoot in February 2026. That project, which stars Brad Pitt, will shoot in Ireland, Greece, Brussels and Amsterdam.
“It’s a big odyssey for the character,” he said. “It takes place in the 1980s and Brad is the main character. He picks up his daughter from the airport, expecting his wife as well but she doesn’t show up. Deep down inside, he knowns something terrible has happened – something emotionally terrible – and he goes on the odyssey with his daughter to look for his wife. It’s a wonderfully, beautiful dissection of this character’s masculinity.”
