Brad Pitt, His Dog Survive Wilderness in 'Heart of the Beast'
Brad Pitt plays a stranded Special Forces officer with his wounded combat dog as the survival thriller heads to theaters with a first trailer.
- Paramount released the first trailer for 'Heart of the Beast,' a survival thriller directed by David Ayer and starring Brad Pitt as former Army Special Forces officer James Belmont, opening in theaters on Sept. 25.
- Following a harrowing plane crash, Belmont and his combat dog, Odin, battle for survival in the Alaskan wilderness against the elements and a pack of wild wolves.
- Although set in Alaska, production took place in New Zealand, where the team cast local canine actor Uber to play Odin; Uber's three sons also served as stand-ins.
- Reuniting for the first time since their 2014 WWII drama 'Fury,' Ayer noted that Pitt delivers a 'raw and believable' performance showing vulnerability he has not displayed before.
- Pitt enters the dog movie genre with this adventure, maintaining confidence in their chances because, as James says, they have 'been through worse,' while the cast also includes J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe.
