Brad Pitt set to star in Apple film ‘Connector’
Darius Marder, director of ‘Sound of Metal,’ is set to direct the project, which follows an ironworker in 1970s New York.
Apple Original Films is producing Connector, with Brad Pitt set to star and Darius Marder attached to direct, according to Deadline. Apple TV subsequently shared the report through its account on X, confirming the project.
The film’s logline places the story in New York during the 1970s. It centers on a working-class ironworker who works high above the city and confronts forces greater than himself. Marder previously directed Sound of Metal.
Connector extends Pitt’s work with Apple following F1 The Movie and Wolfs. In the latter film, Pitt appeared alongside George Clooney.
Apple changed its distribution plans for Wolfs shortly before its premiere. The company had intended to give the film a wide cinema release but dropped those plans, opting instead for a streaming-only debut.
