There is a new trailer for Scott Cooper’s Hostiles (2017) with Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi.
The fictional story is set in the 1890s and follows Bale character on a quest to escort a former Cheyenne enemy from New Mexico back to his tribal lands in Montana. The two men are joined by a suicidal widow, played by Rosamund Pike, who is still grieving over the murder of her family by Comanche Indians.
The movie premiered at Telluride over the Labor Day and was the rare festival entry to not have a distributor. Surely that strong performance from Bale and good reviews will make sure that they will sell distributor rights for a fair price. There are some talks about being Oscar contender if the movie will be released this fall.
The trailer promises good and bloody Western movie, and it is been a long time since we had that kind of movie. Christian Bale looks excellent in his role of racist captain and can wait for Hostiles to come to theatres.
