Blue Ruin and Green Room director Jeremy Saulnier is back with the Macon Blair-penned Hold the Dark, set to premiere on Netflix next month. Saulnier promises his highest body count to date in the film, and Indiewire scored the exclusive on the poster art today.
“There’s scenes in the Iraq War. There’s a lot of outback Alaskan landscapes. There’s aerial sequences. We’re dealing with bison and lynxes and wolves and all kinds of creatures,” Saulnier teased the film to Indiewire. “That was great to not build a contained environment and really milk it for all it’s worth like I did in ‘Green Room,’ but really bend my will around the landscape and the needs of the animals and to keep it very grounded and realistic, and not indulge in artificiality and exactly what I wanted every time.”
“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.”
Alexander Skarsgård, James Badge Dale, Riley Keough and Beckham Crawford also star.
Hold the Dark arrives on Netflix September 28.
