Brad Pitt is teaming up with Apple Original Films once again for Connector, a feature film set in 1970s New York. The actor will reportedly play an ironworker who takes on powerful forces in a story centered on working-class life.
The project will be directed by Darius Marder, best known for his Oscar-winning film Sound of Metal. Pitt is also attached as a producer through his production company, Plan B Entertainment.
Connector is described as the story of 'a working-class legend, a sky-walking ironworker who takes on forces larger than himself'. The film will explore the challenges and risks faced by New York construction workers in the 1970s.
Darius Marder has written the screenplay alongside his sister, Nina Marder. Marder will also produce the project alongside Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Apple Studios will serve as the studio behind the film.
The project has reportedly been in development for some time. Following a recent screenplay draft, Pitt is said to be considering Connector as his next film project, with filming potentially beginning in 2027. However, an official production schedule has not been announced.

For Marder, Connector represents another major feature project following Sound of Metal, which received six Academy Award nominations and won two Oscars. Further details about the film, including its supporting cast, filming schedule and release date, have not yet been revealed.
