Brad Pitt and Conclave director Edward Berger will team on A24 feature The Riders.
The Riders is based on Tim Winton’s novel of the same name, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1995 and follows a man who travels around Europe with his daughter looking for their wife and mother who has gone missing. David Kajganich is adapting for the screen.
Ridley Scott is producing via his Scott Free banner with Michael Pruss. Kajganich will also produce alongside Berger’s nine hours banner and Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner for Plan B Entertainment. Production will start in early 2026, shooting in multiple locations across Europe.
Berger, Kajganich and Scott Free previously worked with on AMC series The Terror.
Pitt was last seen starring opposite George Clooney in the action comedy Wolfs and will next be seen in Formula One movie F1, both out via Apple.
Berger, one of Hollywood’s most sought-after directors, was last in theaters with the Vatican-set drama Conclave and recently wrapped the Netflix mystery The Ballad of a Small Player.
