Overview
- Paramount published the first official trailer Thursday, showing Brad Pitt as James Belmont, a former Special Forces soldier stranded with a combat dog and reiterating the film’s Sept. 25, 2026 release date.
- David Ayer directs a screenplay by Cameron Alexander, with Pitt, Olivia Hamilton and Marty Bowen among the producers and Damien Chazelle listed as an executive producer.
- Although the story is set in Alaska, principal photography took place in New Zealand at locations such as Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, Glenorchy, Mount Aspiring National Park and Milford Sound.
- The canine co-lead Odin is played by a rescue dog named Uber from New Zealand, with Uber’s offspring used as stand-ins, and the trailer foregrounds the film’s emotional man–dog bond rather than large-scale action set pieces.
- Paramount has begun a stepped marketing campaign that included CinemaCon footage and GQ first looks, a strategy that positions the pared-down survival drama within its fall slate and could shape box-office and awards expectations for Pitt.
