The American actor will be playing the part of a tank commander in a new film called Fury, which is set to be filmed at Bovingdon Airfield. The film will also star Transformers actor, Shia LeBeouf.

Crews are currently building a German village set.

It is thought that filming will start at the end of September and the film will be released in 2014.
