Pitt explained that the film’s survival setting created challenges that went beyond performing individual action scenes. The production required him to film in harsh conditions throughout the day.
Pitt said, “On the surface it’s a survival story, so we got to go through extreme situations.” He explained that they had to remain in those conditions instead of returning to their trailers between scenes. The actor added, “You get in the morning, you get wet, and you stay wet all day till the end of the day.”
Pitt acknowledged that this routine came with a certain amount of “drudgery.” Still, he felt the experience added something valuable to the performances. Pitt said, “I believe in it cause it informs the scene, it informs the characters, and informs our movie in it.”
The physical demands also extended to specific sequences in the film. Director Ayer revealed that Pitt performed an underwater sequence himself, swimming down to an aircraft and carrying out the scene before returning to the surface for another breath.
The film follows James and Odin as they fight to survive after the crash. Their journey through the wilderness also puts their bond at the center of the story, with the harsh environment becoming a major part of their struggle. The film also stars J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe.
Heart of the Beast arrived in theaters on September 25, 2026.
