Kari Skogland (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”) has been set as director of “Wind River: The Next Chapter,” a sequel to Taylor Sheridan’s award-winning 2017 crime drama feature at Castle Rock Entertainment.
The acclaimed original followed veteran hunter Corey Lambert (Jeremy Renner) who helps rookie FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) to investigate the murder of a young woman on the Wyoming Native American reservation known as Wind River.
In the new film, terror has escalated on the reservation as a series of ritualistic murders remain unsolved. The FBI enlists the aid of Hanson, a newly minted tracker for the U.S. Fish & Game department, who becomes embroiled in a desperate and dangerous fight between the authorities, a vigilante and the Reservation he calls home.
Martin Sensmeier (“1883”) will reprise his role of Chip Hanson from the original. Patrick Massett & John Zinman (“Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” “Gold”) wrote the script for the sequel, which Matthew George, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee will produce.
