David Ayer, the director behind "Fury," who has recently been busy with a string of action films alongside Jason Statham, including "The Beekeeper" franchise, "A Working Man," and the upcoming "John Doe," is set to shift gears this fall. He's unveiling "Heart of the Beast," an original survival thriller, which just dropped its first trailer and promotional poster (pictured below) tonight.
The script for "Heart of the Beast" comes from music video director Cameron Alexander. The cast features J.K. Simmons, known for the "Spider-Man" franchise, and Brad Pitt, who previously collaborated with Ayer on "Fury." The film is slated for a simultaneous release in North America on September 25.

The official synopsis reveals that after a horrific plane crash, former Army Special Forces officer James Belmont and his retired combat reconnaissance dog, Odin, find themselves stranded deep in the Alaskan wilderness. They are forced to confront brutal weather conditions in a desperate fight for survival. The film explores the unbreakable bond between a man and his best friend, especially as they face the most formidable battle of their lives together.
True to Ayer's signature style, "Heart of the Beast" continues his thematic focus on characters in military and law enforcement roles.
