Upcoming Feature Film “Hostiles” Holding Auditions and Open Casting Call in NM
Christian Bale and Scott Cooper are teaming up one more time. The pair worked together on “Out of the Furnace” a few years back and is now coming together again for an upcoming Western drama titled “Hostiles.” Scott Cooper also directed the Johnny Depp feature “Black Mass.”
The movie will be filming in the Santa Fe New Mexico area this summer and will be holding an open casting call this weekend. Casting directors are looking to cast a Native American child to fill a speaking role. Specifically, they are looking to cast a Native American boy or girl ages 6 to 10.
The story centers on a Native American-hating soldier. The western is set in 1892, where an army captain, played by Christian Bale, agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne chief, along with his family, back to tribal lands. The group must make a perilous journey from New Mexico to Montana, across the harsh landscape. Along the way, they pick up a widow whose family was murdered on those plains. The group is forced to overcome their hatred of each other in order to survive. The unforgiving environment is not their only concern, along the way they must overcome another threat, hostile Comanche tribes that have no love for any of them.
The screenplay was written by the late Donald Stewart, who won an Oscar for co-writing the 1982 Jack Lemmon drama Missing and also worked on the 90s films, The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games . The screenplay was later rewritten by Scott Cooper for the upcoming production.
