One of the Hollywood's biggest stars, Brad Pitt, and one of its most acclaimed visionary directors, Robert Zemeckis, are teaming up to make their first movie together. Paramount Pictures, GK Films and New Regency announced they're making an untitled romantic thriller, with an original story by Steven Knight.
The Wrap reported on the announcement. All that is known about the film right now, besides it being a romantic thriller, is that it has a WWII backdrop.
The project is produced by Zemeckis, Graham King of GK Film and Steve Starkey, and executive produced through Jake Rapke, Knigh, Patrick McCormick (Black Mass) and Denis O'Sullivan (The 5th Wave).
King made a point to call the upcoming film "epic," but decided not to spill on any more details. There's also no clear idea as to when this movie begins production, although it likely starts sometime later this year, when Zemeckis finishes up post-production on his latest, The Walk starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. That film comes into theaters on October 2.
Pitt, meanwhile, also films a role in his wife Angelina Jolie's new movie Africa and also plays a supporting role in Adam McKay's The Big Short, co-starring Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and more, sometime this year as well. He next will be seen on screen in Jolie's By the Sea, which also stars his wife, sometime in 2015.
Knight, additionally, remains as prolific a writer as ever. He's also working with Knight on the Hong Kong action-thriller The Red Circle, and works alongside Pitt authoring World War Z 2. Knight also is at work on a new TV series Taboo, starring Tom Hardy and also wrote November Criminals, starring Ansel Elgort and Chloe Grace Moretz.
If that weren't enough, he also penned an untitled film from director John Wells (August: Osage County), which stars Bradley Cooper and Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) and also helped write Seventh Son, which comes to theaters today.
