Logan Lerman Joins David Ayer's 'Fury'

Following last week's news that Shia LaBeouf had joined the cast of director David Ayer's WWII actioner, Fury starring Brad Pitt, comes word that Logan Lerman is the newest addition to the cast.

Lerman will play Norman Ellison, a typist and the youngest member of the five-man crew aboard a tank (nicknamed Fury) led by Pitt's character, Sgt Wardaddy.   

When Wardaddy's crew find themselves outnumbered behind enemy lines during the demise of the Nazi regime, they must battle it out against an entire fleet of the German Army.

Fury was written on spec by Ayer himself and is being produced for $80 million by QED Pictures with Sony Pictures distributing worldwide.

Lerman is coming off last year's critical hit, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and can next be seen in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters - out in August - as well as the Darren Aronofsky directed, biblical epic, Noah, starring Russell Crowe, which hits theaters Spring 2014.

Fury is currently in pre-production and looks to start filming this fall for a November 2014 release.
