"I’m so very excited to bring Joe Lansdale’s riveting story to the screen," enthused Peter Dinklage, the acclaimed "Game of Thrones" luminary, regarding his latest venture, 'The Thicket'. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the turn-of-the-century, this film has been a cherished dream of Dinklage's for over a decade. Now, with the cameras finally rolling, the world waits with bated breath to witness the magic Dinklage and his stellar cast promise to deliver.
A Decade in the Making: Dinklage's Dream Project
First, let's take a stroll down memory lane. Dinklage, for ten long years, harbored a vision for the cinematic rendition of Joe R. Lansdale's critically acclaimed novel, 'The Thicket'. This dream, however, took a backseat when the Covid pandemic wreaked havoc across global entertainment projects, as reported by Deadline. By 2020, although set with a different cast, the movie's pre-production met the unstoppable wave of the virus. Fast forward to now, and with the world slowly healing, 'The Thicket' has begun its awaited journey on screen in the scenic landscapes of Calgary, Canada.
The Lure of 'The Thicket' - More Than Just A Western Thriller
What's so tantalizing about this tale? Jack, an unassuming young man, embarks on a quest rife with perils to save his abducted sister, Lula, from the clutches of the ruthless killer, Cut Throat Bill. "A journey into the heart of darkness to find love and return it to its rightful place," Dinklage poignantly puts it. Alongside Dinklage's cunning bounty hunter, Reginald Jones, the narrative weaves in captivating characters that promise viewers an escape into a world where bravery and chaos collide.
An Ensemble Cast: A Glimpse into the Stellar Lineup
The film's ensemble cast is nothing short of impressive. Alongside Dinklage, Juliette Lewis, Esmé Creed-Miles, and a galaxy of stars, including the likes of James Hetfield of Metallica, grace this saga with their presence. Elliott Lester, known for his direction in 'Nightingale', spearheads the project, ensuring that each frame captivates and intrigues.
Tubi's Chief Content Officer, Adam Lewinson, encapsulated the collective excitement stating, "As Tubi deepens its commitment to a wide range of genres, we are incredibly excited to begin production on The Thicket, which has been a passion project for so many involved." As we gear up for the film's release, the anticipation is palpable. With Dinklage at the helm, 'The Thicket' is poised to be the next big hit in the world of dark western thrillers.
