Mia Wasikowska also aboard the Western thriller
Outside of Quentin Tarantino’s efforts, Westerns haven’t exactly been enjoying a lot of box-office success again recently. But mashing up the genre with others seems to pay dividends for some film. Brimstone, which blends the oater with a thriller, is hoping for some luck and has corralled Guy Pearce and Mia Wasikowska to star.
Martin Koolhoven, who wrote the script and is directing the film in May this year, has Wasikowska on to play Liz, a heroine in the run from a difficult past who is fleeing pursuit by a diabolical preacher (Pearce, who knows how to deliver a dark character or two).
With The Drop’s cinematographer Nicolas Karakatsanis on board to define the look of the thriller, Koolhoven is rounding up the rest of the cast as the producers start to tout the distribution rights to the film at the European Film Market.
Pearce was last seen making life tough for Robert Pattinson in The Rover and has Results and Equals awaiting release. Wasikowska will next be seen in Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak and is back as Alice for the Wonderland sequel, Through The Looking Glass, due here in 2016.
