Yet another WWII movie but this time from a tank commander's perspective

Get ready for some hard-boiled action and some gritty boys-only cinematography, because David Ayer's “Fury,” starring Brad Pitt, is close to being released. A new trailer for the movie has been made public and it's just about as epic as you would hope.

First off, the movie explains Brad Pitt's funny hairstyle from earlier this year, although he repeatedly explained that it wasn't one he'd chosen himself. In the movie, Brad plays “Wardaddy,” the commander of a five-man Sherman tank crew.

The boys get caught behind enemy lines during the Allies' final push in April 1945 and they also have to cope with a hesitant rookie on their team. The trailer shows the rookie gradually coming into his own and eventually earning his place on the team.

Pitt's character makes a prophetic statement in the voiceover as explosions and tank battles scroll fast before our eyes: “I started this war killing Germans in Africa. Now I’m killing Germans in Germany. I promised my crew a long time ago that I’d keep them alive!”

The movie also stars Shia LaBeouf, Michael Pena, and Jon Berhnthal, whom you might remember from the successful series “The Walking Dead.” “Fury” is set to be released at the London Film Festival on October 19, and then internationally on October 24.
