Filmed in and around Calgary and adapted from the novel of the same name by Joe Lansdale, THE THICKET makes its Canadian Premiere as the Opening Night Gala film of the 2024 Calgary International Film Festival.

When fierce bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Peter Dinklage) is recruited by a desperate man to track down a ruthless killer known only as Cutthroat Bill (Juliette Lewis), he rallies together a band of unlikely heroes including a grave-digging ex-slave and a street-smart woman-for-hire. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to track down Cutthroat Bill, leading them into the deadly “no-man’s-land” known as…THE THICKET.

A film about vengeance, justice, and unlikely companionship, THE THICKET also stars Levon Hawke (BLINK TWICE), Leslie Grace (IN THE HEIGHTS), Esme Creed-Miles (HANNA), Gbenga Akinnagbe (THE OLD MAN), Macon Blair (I CARE A LOT), James Hetfield (METALLICA) and Andrew Shulz (YOU PEOPLE).
