Exciting New Movie in the Works with Brad Pitt and Director Edward Berger
Brace yourself, movie enthusiasts! Brad Pitt is set to star in a new film directed by Edward Berger, known for his work on "Conclave" and "All Quiet on the Western Front." The highly anticipated project is called "The Riders," based on the 1994 novel by Australian writer Tim Winton.
In "The Riders," we'll follow the tale of Fred Scully, an Australian man, and his seven-year-old daughter Billie. Originally, they planned to move from Australia to a cottage they'd purchased in Ireland, which Scully had meticulously renovated by hand. On the day his wife Jennifer and daughter were meant to arrive from Australia, only Billie appeared at the airport, visibly shaken, unable to share what happened to Jennifer or why she was sent alone.
With production scheduled to start in early 2026, "The Riders" will be a gripping journey across various European locations. This intriguing film will be financed and distributed by studio A24.
Edward Berger has some impressive credentials, having directed critically acclaimed films like "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Conclave," which won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. In addition to his work on "The Riders," Berger has been tapped to direct a film about Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal correspondent [1]. Brad Pitt will also star in Joseph Kosinski's "Formula 1" film, slated for release in June, 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 [1].
