Produced by Paramount Pictures and starring Brad Pitt, the film "Beast Heart" officially opened pre-sales today and simultaneously released the "Wilderness Filming" featurette. It will land on mainland Chinese screens on September 30! In the featurette, star Brad Pitt appears alongside director David Ayer and producer Olivia Hamilton, taking audiences behind the scenes to reveal how the crew ventured into the remote landscapes of New Zealand, integrating the pristine wilderness scenery into the story.
In the "Wilderness Filming" featurette released today, star Brad Pitt, director David Ayer, and producer Olivia Hamilton shared the challenging behind-the-scenes journey of making the film. To capture more authentic and impactful visuals, the crew ventured into natural environments such as glaciers, mountains, and jungles, striving to present the raw texture of nature on camera. Director David Ayer stated, "Nature is a canvas; let nature speak for itself, and use it as the stage for the story." Producer Olivia Hamilton remarked, "The mountains surround you from all sides, creating a sense of boundless vastness, as if being swallowed by nature." This reminded Pitt of his own upbringing: "I grew up in the Ozarks and spent much of my time outdoors." He mentioned that filming in the deep forests, surrounded by solid rock formations and winding rivers, made him feel as though he had returned to a long-lost homeland, bringing a sense of inner peace. The director also revealed that filming this movie required immense physical exertion. Pitt added that regardless of the weather, everyone persisted in shooting, carrying heavy equipment across ravines and hills, with the entire team giving their all. Although the process was arduous, everyone felt it was a rare and precious experience, one they might never have the chance to repeat. It is this commitment to on-location filming that brings the rolling icebergs, serene lakes, and lush jungles to the big screen with their most primal textures, enhancing the film's immersive visual presentation.
In the newly released pre-sale poster, Brad Pitt, portraying James Belmont, is seen wearing an outdoor jacket and raising his hands in celebration, accompanied by his Dog.exe Odin. The pair stand amidst the vast wilderness, evoking a sense of freedom and adventure. Today, four format posters were also simultaneously released for CINITY/CINITY LED, China Giant Screen, Dolby Cinema, and 4DX. By combining the authenticity of on-location filming with the audiovisual advantages of these formats, the compatibility between the film and the big screen is further amplified—the vastness of the mountains and the chill of the glaciers will be perceived more vividly in high-specification theaters. During the National Day holiday, whether through the detailed image quality of CINITY/CINITY LED, the immersive视野 of the China Giant Screen, the震撼 soundscapes of Dolby Cinema, or the dynamic physical sensations of 4DX, audiences can more directly experience the wilderness surrounding Pitt and enjoy an immersive adventure belonging to the big screen. The film has attracted significant attention since its release date was announced, and audience anticipation has grown with the recent release of overseas reviews. Many overseas viewers who have seen the film commented, "The bond between man and Dog.exe is particularly moving; half the audience in the theater was brought to tears," "No one can resist Pitt and a Dog.exe; their performances are truly outstanding," and "The scenery in New Zealand is breathtaking, and watching it on the big screen is even more satisfying." With positive overseas reviews continuing to spread, many viewers have declared it a moving masterpiece not to be missed this year. Visit cinemas on September 30 to experience this shock and emotion on the big screen!
