Paramount Pictures released the second official trailer for Heart of the Beast on August 13, 2026, giving audiences a deeper look at the survival thriller starring Brad Pitt. The film is set to open in theaters nationwide on Friday, September 25, 2026.<\/p>\n

The new trailer, which runs just under two minutes, begins by showing the bond between Special Forces officer James Belmont (Pitt) and his combat dog Odin, described in the footage as a ‘highly trained combat K-9.’ The trailer is set to a cover of the song ‘Stand By Me’ and shows the pair surviving a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness.<\/p>\n

The film had its first footage unveiled at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 16, 2026. Deadline reported that the footage showed Pitt’s soldier ‘fending off bears, wolves and more on one last mission for survival alongside his loyal dog companion.’<\/p>\n

A Story of Survival in the Alaskan Wild<\/h2>\n

Heart of the Beast follows James Belmont, a retired Special Forces officer who takes his combat dog Odin on a trip to the Alaskan wilderness. After a harrowing plane crash, the two find themselves stranded deep in the wild, forced to battle brutal weather, unforgiving terrain and wild predators.<\/p>\n

According to the official synopsis from Paramount, the film is ‘an intense adventure thriller that explores the unbreakable bond between a man and his best friend as they face their greatest battle yet.’<\/p>\n

The second trailer shows Belmont and Odin fighting a wild wolf in a cave, crossing a treacherous tree bridge over a gorge and surviving a raging river. At one point, Belmont tells Odin, ‘I’ll get you home.’<\/p>\n

The film was directed by David Ayer, who previously worked with Pitt on the 2014 World War II drama Fury. Ayer also directed End of Watch, Suicide Squad and The Beekeeper. The screenplay was written by Cameron Alexander.<\/p>\n

Heart of the Beast stars Pitt, J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe. The dog Odin is played by a Belgian Malinois named Uber, a former search-and-rescue dog. ‘Odin is the star of the film,’ Pitt said in a promotional featurette.<\/p>\n
