The Thicket, a dark Western film featuring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis, is set to debut in theaters on September 6. Dinklage stars as Reginald Jones, a bounty hunter with a troubled past, who is on a mission to rescue a kidnapped woman from the clutches of Lewis's character, the ruthless gang leader Cutthroat Bill. The film, directed by Elliott Lester and based on Joe R. Lansdale's 2013 novel, features an ensemble cast that includes Levon Hawke, Esmé Creed-Miles, and James Hetfield. Lewis describes her character as 'indestructible' and a tribute to her late father's legacy in Westerns. The Thicket is characterized as a 'punk-rock Western', promising a blend of violence and chaos set in a no-man's land. The film marks a passion project for Dinklage, who has been involved in its development for several years.
