Brad Pitt is booked and busy right now. The 62-year-old actor, who is currently promoting his new survival thriller movie, Heart of the Beast, has a string of projects in the works. This includes Edward Berger's psychological thriller, The Riders, which is already generating Oscar buzz.
The Fight Club actor was pictured shooting the upcoming film in Amsterdam back in March – and he looked almost unrecognizable.

What is The Riders about?
The A24 film follows an Australian man named Scully who traverses Europe with his young daughter, Billie, in a desperate search for his wife.
The movie was filmed across multiple locations in Ireland, Greece and Europe.
