The 58th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express® is delighted to announce that this year's Festival will close with the European Premiere of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Fury on Sunday October 19 at the Odeon Leicester Square.
Written and directed by David Ayer, whose film End of Watch screened in LFF Official Competition 2012, Fury stars Brad Pitt (World War Z) as Don "Wardaddy" Collier, Shia LaBeouf (Nymphomaniac) as Boyd Swan, Logan Lerman (Noah) as Norman Ellison, Michael Peña (End of Watch) as Trini Garcia, and Jon Bernthal (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Grady Travis. Pitt and Ayer are confirmed to attend the Closing Night Gala in London's Leicester Square, while a cinecast from the red carpet and simultaneous screenings will take place at cinemas across the UK. In Fury, it is April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany. Written and directed by David Ayer, the film is produced by Bill Block, David Ayer, Ethan Smith and John Lesher. The executive producers are Brad Pitt, Sasha Shapiro, Anton Lessine, Alex Ott and Ben Waisbren.Source: BFI Film Festival
