Brad Pitt is certainly no stranger to being the harbinger of doom for Nazi soldiers. After his first little foray into World War II in Quentin Tarantino‘s Inglorious Basterds, Pitt is now heading back to the front line – a little less irreverent, a little more battle weary – in Fury, the new effort from the writer of films like Training Day and End of Watch.
Fury follows the crew of an Allied Tank as they make one final, dangerous push behind enemy lines, into Nazi Germany, during the final month of World War II. Naturally, things don’t go according to plan. And the crew finds themselves trapped in an extremely deadly situation.
Fury is written, and directed, by David Ayer, continuing his string of gritty, us-against-them tales about battle-weary men paired with rookies in situations where the looming threat of a larger enemy always hangs in the air.
The film stars Pitt, along with self-proclaimed tortured artist Shia LeBouf, Logan Lerman (who you might remember as the lead role in the effortlessly excellent The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as well as Michael Pe?a and The Walking Dead‘s Jon Bernthal.
Set your watches for October sometime if you’re keen on seeing it. I know I am.
