Kilburn Media has announced the start of production on Cut Bank, a thriller directed by Matt Shakman (“Mad Men,” “Six Feet Under“) that has also added Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games, The Expendables 2) to its cast.
The film also stars two-time Academy Award nominee John Malkovich (RED, In the Line of Fire), Academy Award winner Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa, Monster’s Ball), Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, I Am Number Four), Cannes Film Festival 2013’s Best Actor winner and Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern (Nebraska, Django Unchained), Oliver Platt (“The Big C,” Love & Other Drugs) and Golden Globe nominee Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man, Hitchcock).
From an acclaimed Black List script by Roberto Patino (“Sons of Anarchy”), Cut Bank is the story of 25-year-old Dwayne McLaren (Hemsworth), a former-athlete-turned-auto-mechanic, who dreams of getting out of Cut Bank, Montana, the coldest town in America. But his efforts to do so set in motion a deadly series of events that change his life and the character of the town forever.
Principal photography began on June 12, 2013 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
