Robin Wright Set to Make Her Directorial Debut in Wilderness Drama LAND

Robin Wright (The Princess Bride, Forrest Gump, House of Cards) is set to make her directorial debut with the upcoming film Land, in which she will also star. The film is based on the original screenplay by Jesse Chatham and Golden Globe nominee Liz Hannah (The Post, Long Shot). Here’s a description of the film from Deadline:

Wright’s character is a cosmopolitan lawyer who takes herself off the grid almost entirely. With advice from online survivalists, she moves to the most unpopulated area in the U.S., living in a cabin in the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. All alone, she must learn to hunt, fish and grow her food as she faces brutal winters, a challenging landscape and local wildlife that could kill her at any moment. In crossing paths with Joseph, a First Nations local, Edee begins to confront her demons and surprises herself with her own will to survive.

This sounds like it will be a cool movie in the same vein as Wild and Into the Wild. Stories of self-discovery and reinvention are always pretty interesting, and I’m sure it will be beautiful, as well as well-acted. Production is set to begin this summer in British Columbia and will span the four seasons to capture the entire story.

Does this sound like an interesting story to you?
