Miles Teller and Casey Affleck Set to Star in Manhunt Thriller WILD GAME
Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick) is set to star alongside Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea) in the upcoming manhunt thriller film project Wild Game.
The movie will be helmed by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jason Hall (American Sniper), and it’s based on the novel of the same name by Frank Bergon.
The story is based on true events and the synopsis reads: “When Fish and Game officer Jack Irigaray (Casey Affleck) joins a routine poacher arrest in the Black Rock Desert, a deadly encounter with renegade Claude Dallas (Miles Teller) shatters his reality and propels him into a relentless quest for vengeance — one that blurs the line between justice and obsession.”
Teller and Hall previously worked together on the 2017 Universal Pictures movie Thank You For Your Service, which Hall wrote and directed.
Teller shared in a statement: “I’m really looking forward to reuniting with Jason Hall on Wild Game. We’ve had a great collaboration in the past on Thank You For Your Service, and I know he’s going to bring incredible depth to this story. Claude Dallas is such a complex and layered character—tough, relentless, and living by his own code. I can’t wait to get started with this team”
Hall added: “I couldn’t be more excited to be making this movie with Casey and Miles, two phenomenal talents who will get to go toe to toe with each other. I’m grateful to be producing alongside the talent of Fred Berger and the passion of Steve Richards – it’s a fantastic team we’ve built.”
Producers Fred Berger and Steve Richards added: “Jason’s script is one of the most thrilling and layered we’ve read in a long time, and we jumped at the chance to partner with him. We can’t wait to see Jason, Casey, and Miles bring this iconic rivalry to life on an epic scale.”
This seems like a strong film project with the talent that’s involved.
