Peter Dinklage will lead violent western The Thicket

Quote:

Everyone’s favorite Lannister, Peter Dinklage, is set to star in an adaptation of Joe Anderson’s novel “The Thicket”. The movie will be produced by Gianni Nunnari (SEVEN, THE DEPARTED) and there’s no word on a director yet. THE THICKET has been hailed as one of the best American crime novels to emerge in recent years. Set in tough, turbulent and feral East Texas in the early 20th century, this dark thriller follows the story of Jack, an innocent young man, who goes on an epic quest to rescue his sister after she has been kidnapped by a violent killer, Cut Throat Bill, and his gang. Jack enlists the help of a crafty bounty hunter named Shorty (Dinklage), a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave, and a street-smart prostitute. Together they track the girl into the deadly no-man’s land known as The Big Thicket – a place where blood and chaos reign. http://ift.tt/1vaz9PT
