Actor Brad Pitt is all set to reunite with his Fury (2014) collaborator director David Ayer for Paramount Pictures' action adventure film Heart of the Beast.

Their previous collaboration had Pitt as a US Army sergeant spearheading a five-man Sherman tank crew on a perilous mission in the fag end of World War II.

Last seen in action comedy film Wolfs, along with George Clooney, Pitt has Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi black comedy Mickey 17 that is set for a release on March 7 and is filming for Joseph Kosinski's sports action drama F1.
