The dark western ‘The Thicket,’ starring ‘Game of Thrones‘ star Peter Dinklage, is set to begin production soon. He will also direct and produce the film, which is currently in production in Calgary, Canada.
According to reports, Peter will be joined in the Tubi Films project by Juliette Lewis, Esme Creed-Miles, Levon Hawke, Leslie Grace, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Macon Blair, Ned Dennehy, Andrew Schulz, Arliss Howard, and Metallica rocker James Hetfield.
Based on Joe R. Lansdale’s novel of the same name, ‘The Thicket’ follows a young man named Jack (Levon) on an epic quest to rescue his sister Lula (Creed-Miles) after she is kidnapped by the violent killer Cut Throat Bill (Juliette) and her gang.
Jack enlists the assistance of bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Peter Dinklage), the alcoholic son of an ex-slave (Gbenga), and a street-smart prostitute to rescue her (Leslie). They track Cut Throat Bill down to The Big Thicket, where blood and chaos reign.
According to reports, the film has long been a passion project for Peter Dinklage, and he has been attached to the adaptation for over a decade.
The film was in pre-production in 2020 but was ultimately pushed back due to the Covid pandemic.
“I’m so excited to bring Joe Lansdale’s riveting story to the screen,” said Peter Dinklage, 53. A journey into the heart of darkness in search of love and its rightful place.”
