Digital release approaches
Heart of the Beast is set to land on digital platforms November 10, ahead of Pitt’s next project, The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. That spin-off, directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino, is scheduled for an IMAX-exclusive run later this month.
