You might want to post this thread on the Tech Board (which is where it should be anyway). Tigerwise and a couple of other integrators (like me) might have some input for you.
I nearly posted this thread on the Tech Board, but the activity on that board is much much less than the O-T.

What is the weight of the TV? What is the weight and specs on the mount?
I'm considering going to a 65" which would be around 60 lbs. The mount is a Sanus VLF628. I can't find what the mount weighs, but the shipping weight is 54 lbs. It supports a maximum of 150 lbs, and extends to a maximum of 28" from the wall.

You're right to have concern with a full motion mount. Most posters in the thread don't seem to comprehend what that is. Nor do they seem to understand that when you extend the TV out from the wall it exerts much greater force (downward) on the supporting wall than a standard flush or tilt mount.
Exactly!

To be perfectly safe I'd put a frame behind that wall that anchors to the floor if you have access. Literally a framed floor plate, top plate and studs to anchor in. That way you can go through the existing brick to attach to the frame but the brick wouldn't bear any of the weight.
That's a lot of sheer weight to support when the mount is fully extended.
