With Murder Party, Blue Ruin and Green Room under his belt, Jeremy Saulnier has been nothing but impressive thus far, and his next is an adaptation of William Giraldi’s bestselling novel Hold the Dark for Netflix. This week, Empire shares the first look image.
The site notes, “The film, a Netflix original, casts Westworld star Jeffrey Wright as wolf expert Russell Core who ventures to the Alaskan village of Keelut when three children go missing – assumed to be the work of lupine activity.”
“This film has so many firsts for me,” Saulnier told Empire. “It has my record number of intimate dialogue scenes and my highest body count. It has my first war scene, my first aerial sequence, my first time working extensively with animals. So in that regard it was a huge challenge.”
Alexander Skarsgård and Beckham Crawford also star.
The film arrives on Netflix on September 28.
