Brad Pitt is about to make his third movie with Apple Original Films.
According to Deadline, Pitt will star in Connector, which Sound of Metal director Darius Marder will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with his sister Nina Marder. Connector marks Marder’s first feature since his directing debut on Sound of Metal, which earned seven ScreenAge Wasteland Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Connector is set in 1970s New York and centers on a working-class legend: a skywalking ironworker who takes on forces larger than himself. Apple Studios will serve as the studio, marking the third time they’ve worked with Pitt, after Wolfs and F1. A 2027 shoot is being eyed for Connector.
Pitt was most recently seen in the Paramount survival thriller Heart of the Beast, which has grossed nearly $200 million at the worldwide box office. Up next for the actor is Netflix’s The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, which hits theaters on Thanksgiving, and Edward Berger’s A24 pic The Riders, arriving in 2027.
