Renner Joins Sicario Writer’s ‘Wind River’

The writer of Sicario is Taylor Sheridan, currently enjoying praise for his work on that good movie.  Following on from that he is about to make his directorial debut for upcoming thriller ‘Wind River’.  He also wrote the movie.

Joining the cast are Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner.

The pic, which begins shooting in March in Park City, centers on Cory (Renner), who works for the Fish and Game Department as a hunter of coyotes and other predators. Suffering after the death of his teenage daughter, he stumbles upon the raped body of a teenage girl frozen in the desolate wilderness. A rookie FBI agent (Olsen) who is unfamiliar with the terrain and weather enlists Cory to help her find those responsible.

Sicario producer Basil Iwanyk’s Thunder Road is producing this one with Peter Berg and Matthew George, so we could well get a good one out of this.
