10 Upcoming Movies With GENIUS Concepts
3. Those Who Wish Me Dead
This adaptation of Michael Koryta's acclaimed 2014 novel revolves around a Montana teenager (Finn Little) who witnesses a murder and consequently finds himself pursued by twin assassins looking to put him down.
The boy finds aid in the form of survival expert Hannah Faber (Angelina Jolie), who attempts to get him to safety all while a raging forest fire threatens to close in and kill everyone involved.
It's a fantastically pulpy premise, and one that certainly sounds well within the wheelhouse of writer-director Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Wind River).
You can practically smell the burning forest from the logline alone, and given how Angelina Jolie's basically gone an entire decade without playing a major part worthy of her talents, this is undeniably a long overdue return.
With a supporting cast including Nicholas Hoult, Jon Bernthal, Aidan Gillen, and even Tyler Perry, there's plenty to be excited about here.
