You may have heard the name Taylor Sheridan before. He started out as an actor, but he’s perhaps best known for his screenwriting/directing work.
The 50-year-old star from Texas wrote the screenplay for Sicario and for Hell or High Water. He was actually nominated for an Oscar for his work on the latter. He also wrote/directed the critically acclaimed film, Wind River.
Oh, and he also co-created the hit series ‘Yellowstone‘ — so yeah, he’s been a little busy.
His latest project? A neo-Western thriller titled Those Who Wish Me Dead. The Warner Bros. film was written/directed by Sheridan, and it stars Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Jon Bernthal and Tyler Perry.
Based on Michael Koryta’s book, Jolie stars as Hannah, a smoke jumper reeling from the loss of three lives she failed to save from a fire. She comes across a traumatized 12-year-old boy with nowhere else to turn, and the two are chased into the woods by some baddies who set a massive forest fire to root them out.
It’ll premiere inside theaters on May 14 and on HBO Max at the same time, since it’s a Warner Bros. film.
And it should be a very entertaining watch. Check out the trailer below…
