Brad Pitt and David Ayer’s survival thriller “Heart of the Beast” has been added to the San Sebastián Film Festival lineup. The film, distributed by Paramount, screens out of competition in the festival’s Official Selection. The festival says both Pitt and Ayer will attend and present the movie.
The announcement comes as Pitt returns to San Sebastián after a long gap. The Hollywood Reporter notes it is his first visit to the Spanish festival since 2009, when he and Quentin Tarantino presented “Inglourious Basterds.”
Across the outlets, the reported details are consistent: the production is David Ayer’s latest feature, starring Brad Pitt, and it is positioned as a special out-of-competition screening rather than a competitive entry. The plot description in the coverage centers on Pitt playing a Special Forces officer in a survival-focused story, with further specifics not fully detailed beyond that setup.
