Heart Of The Beast Trailer: Brad Pitt & His Dog Brave The Alaskan Wilderness In First Look - Spoilers

Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for Heart of the Beast, a new survival thriller from Suicide Squad director David Ayer.

The movie stars Brad Pitt as former Special Forces officer James Belmont, who becomes stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with his wounded German Shepard, Odin (the pooch actor is named Uber).

Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe star alongside Pitt, who also serves as a producer with Ayer, Olivia Hamilton and Marty Bowen Ayer.

The project reunites Pitt and Ayer for the first time since the brutal 2014 WWII movie, Fury. Heart of the Beast was written by Cameron Alexander and executive produced by Alexander, Damien Chazelle, Scott Lumpkin, Chris Long, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary, Sophie Cassidy and Zack Conroy.

“He’s a beast,” Ayer said of his star in a recent interview with GQ. “He was vulnerable and exposed himself in a way that I haven't seen before. A constant theme from people who have seen the film is just how raw and believable and profound his performance is. I've done this long enough and worked with so many talented people that you know when someone's fully showing up and putting themself through something above and beyond."

Spoilers follow.
