Brad Pitt Set For Berger’s “The Riders”

Brad Pitt is set to star in an upcoming film adaptation of author Tim Winton’s novel “The Riders” at A24.

The novel follows a man, Fred Scully, whose family plans to move from Australia to a cottage they have purchased in Ireland.

Having gotten there first, Fred awaits his wife and daughter, who are due to arrive by plane. However at the airport, only the daughter arrives – traumatised and unable to tell her father what has happened or why her mother put her on the plane alone.

The story follows the pair as they travel around Europe retracing the steps of their previous travel, trying to find the mother and work out why she left them.

“Conclave” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” filmmaker Edward Berger is set to direct the film from a script by David Kajganich who also produces.

Ridley Scott’s Scott Free, Berger’s Nine Hours and Pitt’s Plan B are all backing the project . Production will begin in early 2026 and shoot in multiple locations across Europe.

Pitt will next appear in Joseph Kosinski’s “F1” and will shortly work on the Fincher directed and Tarantino-penned “The Continuing Adventures of Cliff Booth.”
