'We are thrilled': Rachel Brosnahan saddles up for Dead For A Dollar

It's a tale as old as the industry itself. When an acclaimed actress jumps from one successful project to another, the entertainment world stops and takes notice. Back in 2021, that's precisely what happened when "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe award-winner Rachel Brosnahan signed on to Walter Hill's western adventure "Dead For A Dollar."

“We are thrilled to be working with Rachel and this best-in-class cast,” were the words of Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman, the co-presidents of Quiver Distribution, confirming Brosnahan's involvement in the project.

In the film, Brosnahan was cast as the wife of a successful businessman held captive in Mexico, with bounty hunter Christoph Waltz and outlaw Willem Dafoe leading the charge in a high-stakes rescue mission. A narrative as wild as the west itself.

Not to be underestimated in this tale of entertainment yesteryear is the role of Quiver Distribution. As reported by Deadline, Quiver was instrumental in marshaling the film's financing and packaging the project in association with the Canadian-based CHAOS a Film Company. Meyerowitz and Sackman emphasized the company's expansion ambition, stating they were "always eager to expand our horizons as we venture more into finance and production."

Brosnahan, famous for her roles in Amazon's "I'm Your Woman", "Beautiful Creatures", "The Finest Hour", and "Patriots Day", and her sterling stint on TV series such as "House of Cards", "Manhattan" and "The Black List", seemed ready to dive into this new genre.

The news of her casting in "Dead For A Dollar" added an extra touch of intrigue and anticipation to the movie, reminding us once again of Brosnahan's incredible versatility as an actress. Looking back, her leap from the comedy of "Mrs. Maisel" to the wild frontiers of Walter Hill's west is a testament to her impressive range and a symbol of her ever-rising star power.
