Brad Pitt is collaborating with Apple once again for a new feature film, following the global success of F1. The project is reportedly in development.
According to Deadline, Brad Pitt and Apple Original Films have reunited for their new film Connector. In addition to starring in the film, the Oscar-winning star will serve as producer through his Plan B banner.
Darius Marder, who earned an Oscar nomination for Sound of Metal, is set to direct the project. The screenplay is penned by Darius and his sister Nina Marder.
Set in 1970s New York, Apple Studios’ Connector follows a working-class legend and sky-walking ironworker who stands up to forces far more powerful than himself. Alongside Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner will produce the film for Plan B, with director Marder also serving as a producer.
Connector marks Pitt’s latest collaboration with Apple Original Films, following the massive success of F1. The 2025 sports drama film directed by Joseph Kosinski became the highest-grossing auto racing film of all time. It also received four Academy Award nominations, winning for Best Sound.
