David Ayer and Damien Chazelle are Best Suited to Make 'Heart of the Beast' Close From the premise of Heart of the Beast, it seems like a thrilling story with an emotional core, highlighting the adjustment issues military people face after serving.
Chazelle burst on the map with his critically acclaimed feature Whiplash starring Miles Teller, J. K. Simmons, which was highly appreciated for its screenplay, direction, sound, and performances. He went on to make the musical La La Land starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, which has a special place in fans’ hearts and was critically acclaimed.
