Pitt has been filming in Ireland in recent months, with other locations including Dublin, Cork, and Wicklow.
Directed by Conclave's Edward Berger, The Riders is a big-screen adaptation of the 1994 Tim Winton book of the same name, some of which was set in Ireland.
When Pitt's involvement in the film was first reported by Deadline in April 2025, the US entertainment trade publication said the drama would film "in multiple locations across Europe".
Of the book The Riders, Deadline said: "The novel follows Fred Scully (Pitt), who, after travelling through Europe for two years, winds up in Ireland with his wife and daughter. And on a mystical whim of his wife Jennifer, they buy an old farmhouse that stands in the shadow of a castle.
"While Scully spends weeks alone renovating the old house, Jennifer returns to Australia to liquidate their assets.
"When Scully arrives at Shannon Airport to pick up Jennifer and their seven-year-old daughter, Billie, it is Billie who emerges - alone.
"There is no note, no explanation, not so much as a word from Jennifer, and the shock has left Billie speechless. In that instant, Scully's life falls to pieces."
Scully and Billie then travel around Europe in search of Jennifer.
The cast of The Riders includes Julianne Nicholson (August: Osage County, Black Mass, Mare of Easttown), Danny Huston (Succession, 21 Grams, The Aviator), newcomer Coco Greenstone, and Belfast actor Michael Smiley (Luther, Bad Sisters, Blue Lights).
The adaptation of Australian author Winton's Booker-nominated novel is written by David Kajganich (Bones and All, Suspiria, The Terror, A Bigger Splash).
Pitt's Plan B Entertainment is among the producers of The Riders, as is Ridley Scott's company Scott Free.
