David Ayer got a lot of praise for End Of Watch, and later this year he’ll be bringing us Ten. He’s already lining up future projects though, as Deadline reports that QED International has just paid him $1 million for Fury, a World War II-set spec script that Ayer wrote and is now set to direct.
The film is set in 1945 as the Nazi regime collapses. It follows a five man American tank squadron who fight off the remainder of the German forces. Ayer says it will, “bring a fresh execution to the genre… What these men went through is worthy of a complex, honest portrayal. This will have incredible, visceral action and complex rich characters. I plan to bring tank combat to life in a way that lands with a modern audience.
QED also backed Ten, so they must like what he’s doing with the movie, which stars Sam Worthington, Joe Manganiello, Terrence Howard and Mireille Enos. There’s no news on when we might get to see Fury.
