Brad Pitt Initiates Logan Lerman into the Crew in UK Trailer for ‘Fury’
“I had the best gunner in the entire 9th Army in that seat. And now I got you.” The first trailer for Fury introduced us to the tank crew facing seemingly insurmountable odds of survival in David Ayer’s World War II drama. Now a new trailer from across the pond has surfaced, and this one focuses a bit more on Logan Lerman.

But he’s a young kid, and hasn’t seen all the horror that Brad Pitt, Michael Pena, Shia LaBeouf and Jon Bernthal have seen, so he must be initiated, and it looks…
