Apple TV on board for new Brad Pitt film 'Connector'

Apple TV and Brad Pitt are set to team up once again, this time to tell the story of a working-class hero.

Set in 1970s New York, "Connector" revolves around a legendary ironworker who takes on forces greater than himself. The film is currently in development with no release date set.

According to Deadline, "Sound of Metal" director Darius Marder and his sister, Nina Marder, penned the story. Pitt will executive produce through Plan B.

Producers thought Apple TV made the most sense, given the success of "F1: The Movie," which Plan B also produced. "F1" became the highest-grossing sports feature of all time and earned a Best Picture Oscar nomination.
