Paramount Pictures announces that David Ayer will direct Brad Pitt in the survival action adventure film “Heart of the Beast,” with J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe also starring. Multiple outlets report that the studio schedules the movie for a late-September theatrical debut on September 25. The release places the film against other theatrical titles, including DreamWorks’ “Forgotten Island,” starring Dave Franco and Jenny Slate, as well as a re-release of Marvel’s “Avengers: Endgame.” The Hollywood Reporter similarly frames the project as Brad Pitt’s “Heart of the Beast” arriving in theaters in late September, aligning with Deadline’s specific date. Beyond the release window, the coverage centers on the confirmed creative team and cast and on the film’s competitive release lineup. No additional plot details are included in the provided summaries, but the film is consistently described as an action, survival-focused project under Ayer’s direction for Paramount Pictures.
