Thandie Newton (“Westworld,” “Solo: A Star Wars Story”) is set to lead Julian Higgins’ directing debut, the neo-eestern thriller “God’s Country” for Cold Iron Pictures and The Film Arcade.
The story is set in the bleak winter landscape of the Mountain West. Newton plays a college professor living on her own at the edge of the national forest.
One day she confronts two hunters trespassing on her land, triggering a battle of wills with dangerous ramifications. Shaye Ogbonna adapted the script with Higgins from author James Lee Burke’s short story “Winter Light”.
Miranda Bailey and Amanda Marshall are producing and shooting begins this week in Montana.
