David Ayer‘s World War II movie FURY instantly sounded awesome when it was announced that Brad Pitt would star. Now, there is news that Shia LaBeouf may join Pitt and I can hear your Schmoe groans. After the news that LaBeouf may partner with Robert De Niro for SPY’S KID, many of you voiced a distinct dislike for the TRANSFORMERS star. Well, let the hate continue as Variety reporting on this news seems pretty concrete.
Here is the brief plot for FURY:
“1945 as the Nazi regime collapses and the five-man crew of an American tank called Fury battles a desperate German army.”
I have no qualms with Brad Pitt going back to war, especially if he brings a little Aldo Raine to the part. But, Ayer is promising this will be an “honest and visceral” combat film, so it won’t be another INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. Personally, I don’t have an issue with LaBeouf, especially if he gets to die a spectacular death. He redeemed himself for me with his role in LAWLESS, so I will give him a chance here.
FURY is slated to open on November 14, 2014.
