Alexander Skarsgard (“The Northman”) and Dane DeHaan (“A Cure for Wellness”) will star in “The Tiger” from Ukrainian filmmaker Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi (“The Tribe”).
The true story tale is based on the book by John Vaillant and unfolds in snowy far east Russia in the late 1990s. Skarsgard will play the leader of a group of men tasked with protecting the endangered cats from poachers and loggers.
His sense of duty is tested when he’s charged with hunting down and exterminating a tiger that killed a poacher in self-defense. DeHaan will portray Kanchuga, a young environmental scientist and newest member of the team.
Darren Aronofsky produces through his Protozoa label.
