Brad Pitt has signed on to star in the upcoming adaptation of "The Riders" based on Tim Winton's novel of the same name. The film will be directed by Edward Berger ("Conclave", "All Quiet on the Western Front"), and will be financed and distributed by A24.
The adaptation is penned by David Kajganich. Production is expected to begin in early 2026 and filming will take place in multiple locations across Europe. Producers include Ridley Scott's Scott Free, Berger's Nine Hours, Pitt's Plan B and Kajganich. The package was landed by A24 in a highly competitive situation.
The novel follows Fred Scully (Pitt), who, after traveling through Europe for two years, ends up in Ireland with his wife and daughter. And on a mystical whim of his wife Jennifer, they buy an old farmhouse that stands in the shadow of a castle. While Scully spends weeks alone renovating the old house, Jennifer returns to Australia to liquidate their assets. When Scully arrives at Shannon Airport to pick up Jennifer and their 7-year-old daughter, Billie, it is Billie who emerges — alone. There is no note, no explanation, not so much as a word from Jennifer, and the shock has left Billie speechless. In that instant, Scully's life falls to pieces.
Pitt can next be seen in the racing drama "F1" directed by Joseph Kosinski ("Top Gun: Maverick"). He's also working on "The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth", a spinoff of Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which will be directed by David Fincher from Tarantino's script.
