If you're a fan of westerns, then the following may well appeal to you. Elliott Lester, the British director behind such films as"Blitz" and"Nightingale", returns to the big screen with"The Thicket". The film doesn't yet have a release date in France, but it's already getting a lot of buzz. The film boasts a fine cast, including Peter Dinklage, James Hetfield and Juliette Lewis.
While the former is best known for his role as Tyrion Lannister in"Game of Thrones", the latter is a legend in the eyes of many metalheads. James Hetfield is the lead singer and guitarist of Metallica, the thrash metal band from California. Although James Hetfield is more accustomed to taking to the stage than playing on movie sets, the artist also has a passion for the 7th art. In 2019, he appeared in"Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile"; a film in which he played the role of a policeman.
In"The Thicket", James Hetfield makes more than just a cameo appearance, starring alongside Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis. The American actress and singer has starred in a number of successful films, including"Les Nerfs à vif","Kalifornia","Tueurs nés","Une nuit en enfer" and, more recently,"A Million Little Pieces".
Other actors in"The Thicket" include Levon Hawke(Stranger Things), Esmé Creed-Miles, Leslie Grace and Gbenga Akinnagbe.
