Brad Pitt has joined Wim Wenders’ documentary about Swiss architect Peter Zumthor in an executive producer capacity. The film, titled From Inside Out – The Architecture of Peter Zumthor, was shot over a 14-year period and follows the work of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect across his most significant projects.
The documentary traces Zumthor’s career from his early family homes in the Alps through major international commissions. It includes examination of notable structures such as the Therme Vals spa in Switzerland, the Kolumba Museum in Cologne, and the Steilneset Memorial in Norway. The film also covers a failed project—Zumthor’s abandoned design for the Topography of Terror museum in Berlin, which was discontinued following cost overruns.
Pitt’s involvement stems from his advocacy for Zumthor’s design of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which was completed this year. Pitt’s support included public remarks at a significant county hearing in 2019 that helped advance the controversial project. The documentary will feature a “Brad Pitt presents” credit acknowledging his support for the film and his regard for both the architect and director, though Pitt holds no financial stake in the production and his Plan B company did not participate in its creation.
The film was shot in 3D format, similar to Wenders’ 2023 documentary about German artist Anselm Kiefer, designed to provide viewers an immersive experience of the spaces Zumthor designed. From Inside Out was produced by Wenders’ Road Movies and DCM, with HanWay handling international sales. The documentary will debut out of competition at the Venice Film Festival next month.
