Love War Films? Take a Sneak Peak At Brad Pitt's New Film, "Fury," and You'll be Impatiently Waiting for the Release (With Video)

Brad Pitt looks to 'knock 'em dead' in his upcoming film, Fury, based on a WWII tank crew that has to fight their way through enemy lines.

In recent years Pitt has been drawn to WWII themed films like his role in Quentin Tarantino's, Inglorious Bastards, which featured arguably Pitts greatest acting performance. Pitt will look to rekindle his acting success with director David Ayer.

Ayer is famous for bringing cutting edge, gritty and action packed films to the big screen. His biggest hits, Training Day, End of Watch and The Fast and The Furious, were both critically and commercially hits at the box office.

Director Ayer is a master at getting the most out of his A-list actors. When Ayer worked with Denzel Washington in Training Day, Ayer won a brilliant performance from the actor, and Washington, in turn, won an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Pitt will hope to follow in Denzel's footsteps, bringing to the screen an in-depth performance as well as a unique look into the mind of a WWII tank sergeant.

Fury, the name of Pitt's tank, looks to be the central vehicle in the film. The characters will live and die by the tank, making Fury an interesting twist on the commonly used genre of war. Ayer will more likely than not find a new way to bring flair to the genre, at least based on his previous works with grainy street-themed films.

Fury appears, at least from the clip, to have a raw and realistic vantage point of WWII that many films attempt, but few are able to achieve.

Starring alongside Brad Pitt is Shia Labeouf, who has, until recently, taken a hiatus from the film world. After a series of bizarre episodes, Shia Labeouf is seeking a comeback, as he recently has fallen from grace with critics and viewers alike.

Fury is scheduled to open this November, and based off of its $80 million budget, will be looking to make a big splash with audiences. Not that just having a big budget will do so, mind you. Expensive films are a dime a dozen in today's market. After all, Disney's John Carter had a budget of over $200 million and flopped infamously at the box-office.

But unlike those big-budget flops, Fury looks like an adventure story layered into the world's most ill-fated set.
