Brad Pitt has found his next star vehicle in Heart of the Beast, David Ayer‘s action adventure film for Paramount Pictures, on which we were first to report last March. Pill will also produce for his Plan B Entertainment.
Written by Cameron Alexander, who will executive produce, Heart of the Beast centers on a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog who battle for survival after a plane crash deep in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness.
Damien Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton will also produce under their Wild Chickens Productions banner, as part of their first-look deal with the studio. Ayer also produces under his Crave Films banner, along with Temple Hill Entertainment. Richard Raymond is co-producing.
David Leitch Paddling Towards ‘Ocean’s 14’
David Leitch is in early talks to direct Ocean’s 14, the Smokehouse-produced caper franchise for Warner Bros that will mark the first one not directed by Steven Soderbergh, sources confirm. We’d reported that Conclave helmer Edward Berger was in talks, but those have gone away. The intention is to bring the original cast back in the fold. Leitch is coming off the Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt-starrer Fall Guy and the Brad Pitt-starrer before that. Pitt’s part of the core Ocean’s cast along with George Clooney, Matt Damon, and others. The talks were first reported by The InSneider.

Pitt’s F1 movie: Producers talk wrapping filming in Abu Dhabi
To finish fifth and still stand on the Formula One podium made for an unusual end to George Russell’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
On the other side of the rostrum was Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari driver who had already been on the podium on Sunday evening after recovering from 19th on the grid to finish third behind Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz.
In between Russell and Leclerc in his white and black race suit was Sonny Hayes, the veteran racer from APXGP.
Hayes is the fictional character played by Brad Pitt in “F1,” the movie produced by Warner Bros. and Apple that has embedded itself within the F1 world for the past two seasons. APXGP, Pitt’s fictional team owned by Javier Bardem’s character, has received a full garage setup at races and lined its Mercedes-designed cars up on the starting grid, so committed has the sport been to making this the most realistic racing film ever.
On Sunday after the race in Abu Dhabi, a second podium ceremony was staged to capture some scenes, all in front of fans who had been told to stay in their seats after the race for a chance to be caught in the movie.
