The film’s producer revealed his love of German Shepherds, and how the film came to be

On X several months ago, Richard revealed some backstory about the movie.

Five years. That’s how long I chased this one. A script by Cameron Alexander that I fell in love with the moment I read it — a film that had passed through a lot of hands over the years, none of which quite knew what they were holding or how to treat it. I did. So I kept knocking, and I waited, until it was finally mine to look after.

I grew up around German Shepherds. My mum breeds and trains them, and I’ve always believed they’re the best breed going — full stop. I wanted to make the definitive German Shepherd film, and in Cameron’s pages, I saw it.

We redeveloped it together and brought on Andrew Simpson, the best dog trainer in the business — if you’ve seen the Malinois in John Wick, you’ve seen his work. Then I handed it to two dear friends, Damien Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton, who saw exactly what I saw: a gritty survival thriller made for the big screen. They took it to Paramount, who fell for it as hard as we had. Before I knew it, Brad Pitt had come aboard, with David Ayer directing — an absolute maestro — and we were shooting in New Zealand.

He then shared the answer to the question: does the dog die in Heart of the Beast?

The answer? NO! The dog lives!

He added, “And look — everybody loves a dog. It’s about the only thing the whole world agrees on. So let me put your mind at ease right now: the dog does not die. You’re welcome.”
