The already impressive Fury cast has just gotten even more impressive with the addition of Jason Isaacs.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jason Isaacs has joined the all-star cast of Fury from writer and director David Ayer (End of Watch). Isaacs joins the cast led by Brad Pitt that also stars Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, and Michael Pena.
Isaacs looks to have an integral part in the film. He’ll play “the confident captain and veteran on the team that Pitt’s character looks to for advice.”
Fury began filming last month. The first official look from the film was released from writer/director Ayer on his Twitter account. The first look gave us a good look at Pitt, LaBeouf, and Pena, and an even better one of Lerman.
As we’ve previously reported, Fury is set near the end of World War II as the crew led by Pitt goes on a mission behind Nazi lines. It shouldn’t be expected that all of our co-stars will make it out alive.
“Fury” is set at the very end of World War II, in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, 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, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.
Fury hits theaters November 14, 2014.
