Brad Pitt reunites with Apple for Connector, a 1970s New York ironworker drama from the Sound of Metal director
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Fresh off F1, Brad Pitt is going back to Apple: he'll star in and produce Connector, about a sky-walking ironworker in 1970s New York who becomes a working-class legend and takes on forces bigger than himself. Darius Marder, whose Sound of Metal won two Oscars, directs from a script he wrote with his sister Nina Marder, and Deadline says Pitt is keen to make it his next shoot in 2027.
Pitt dangling off a girder in 70s New York: instant must-see, or does Marder need to prove Sound of Metal wasn't a one-off?
