Now it seems that the lump sum of $1 million funded by QED International for the project will be worthy as Pitt will star in the film.QED is financing and producing the movie along with Le Grisbi Productions.

The action inFuryis set in the waning days of 1945 World War when the Nazi regime collapses and the five-man crew of an American tank called Fury battles a desperate German army. QED and Ayer are looking forward to make a war movie for modern audiences as Ayer said he intends to “bring a fresh execution to the genre. What these men went through is worthy of a complex, honest portrayal. This will have incredible, visceral action and complex rich characters. I plan to bring tank combat to life in a way that lands with a modern audience.”
