Actor Brad Pitt to feature in an upcoming movie directed by Edward Berger.
Here's the rewritten article:
Get ready, film buffs! Director Edward Berger, known for movies like "Conclave" and "All Quiet on the Western Front," is gearing up for a new project. And guess who's joining the ride? None other than Brad Pitt!
According to Deadline, the movie is called "The Riders." It's based on the novel of the same name by Australian writer Tim Winton, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize back in 1995. Dave Kajganich, who has worked on "Terror" series, will handle the screenplay adaptation.
Now, let's dive into the plot. Brad Pitt plays Fred Scully, a guy who, along with his wife Jennifer and their seven-year-old daughter Billie, embarks on a trip across Europe. The family decides to relocate to an old farmhouse in Ireland due to Jennifer's mysterious whim. While Scully stays behind to renovate their new home, Jennifer heads back to Australia to sell their assets. But things take a dark turn when Scully goes to pick up Jennifer and Billie at the airport. He only finds Billie, speechless and alone, with no note or explanation from Jennifer.
Production for this suspenseful drama is set to start in early 2026 across various European locations. A24 will distribute and finance the film.
Edward Berger is no stranger to the big screen. And neither is Brad Pitt, who has been tapped for several other upcoming projects. Pitt is also set to star in Joseph Kosinski's "Formula 1" film and reprise his role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" sequel, "The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth," directed by David Fincher.
