Collider Interviews | The Thicket Director Elliott Lester Discusses Landing Metallica Frontman James Hetfield For a Role @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Director Elliott Lester has worked with the biggest pop stars on the face of the planet, directing music videos for Selena Gomez, Avril Lavigne, The Fray, to name only a few. He’s brought us thrilling Jason Statham action in Blitz, helmed Nightingale, an Emmy-nominated psycho-drama starring David Oyelowo, and even coaxed a tender performance from Arnold Schwazenneger in Aftermath. Now, he’s thrilled to bring audiences a Western, the likes of which have never been seen with The Thicket.
Set at the dawn of the 20th century, The Thicket stars Emmy Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage as bounty hunter Reginald Jones. After being recruited by a desperate man to track down ruthless killer Cutthroat Bill (Oscar-nominated actress Juliette Lewis), Jones gathers a band of unlikely heroes and embarks on a dangerous journey tracking down Cutthroat Bill into the deadly unclaimed territory known as the Thicket.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub was pleased to sit down with The Thicket director, Lester, to discuss shooting in subzero temperatures, postponing production past COVID, and conjuring Metallica frontman James Hetfield in a dream.
