Apple TV announces new film ‘Connector’ starring Brad Pitt

Apple is reuniting with Brad Pitt, the star of its most successful film of all time: F1 The Movie. Here are the details on Connector, a new Apple Original Films project with Pitt attached to star. ‘Connector’ to be directed by Darius Marder and star Brad Pitt for Apple Original Films Today Deadline reported on a new movie Apple Original Films is producing called Connector, which is set to star Brad Pitt and be directed by the ‘Sound of Metal’ director Darius Marder. Following the report’s publication, Apple TV’s X account reposted it, thus confirming the news. Per Connector’s logline, the film is “set in 1970s New York and revolves around a working-class legend, a sky-walking ironworker who takes on forces larger than himself.” Apple has previously worked with Pitt not only on F1, but also the film Wolfs which co-starred George Clooney. Watch Wolfs on Apple TV Wolfs was a big hit for Apple TV, but put Apple on shaky ground with the creatives involved. That’s because it was planned for a wide theatrical release, then very shortly before the premiere Apple pivoted and canceled its theatrical plans, making the film streaming-only. Clearly, the experience didn’t sour Pitt on the relationship. Or if it did, F1 becoming a huge theatrical hit helped patch things up. Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.
