Late last year, Pitt wrapped production for his film "F1," where he plays a Formula 1 driver. 

The film is scheduled for a summer release and is one of the most anticipated projects of the year, marking a blockbuster return from Pitt and the next project from the director and writer of "Top Gun: Maverick," one of the biggest box office successes of the past couple of years. 

Pitt is now in New Zealand, shooting scenes from the film "Heart of the Beast." Photographers captured him wearing camo and recording outdoors, alongside a German Shepherd that plays a key part in the film.

The project follows Pitt's turn as a racecar driver in "F1," which features a Lewis Hamilton cameo features him as a consultant, taking the actors out for drives and ensuring that everything in the film looks as legitimate as possible.

"Lewis gave Brad the scare of a lifetime in a lap. Brad was clawing at the windows, begging to get out," said director Joseph Kosinski to Time Magazine.
