Filmmaker Jon Watts' upcoming movie, fronted by Hollywood stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt, has landed at Apple Studios. Watts, the director behind actor Tom Holland's three "Spider-Man" movies as well as indie hits like "Cop Car" and "Clown", will write, direct and produce the thriller film.

The project hit the market last week with major Hollywood studios like Sony, Lionsgate, Annapurna, MGM, Universal, Warner Bros, Apple, Netflix and Amazon vying for it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney and Pitt will star as two lone wolf fixers assigned to the same job.
