WIND RIVER: THE NEXT CHAPTER Casts Jason Clarke, Scott Eastwood, and Chaske Spencer

A few months ago it was announced that Taylor Sheridan’s crime thriller Wind River was getting a sequel titled Wind River: The Next Chapter. The cast for the film is now being set and that cast will be led by Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty), Scott Eastwood (The Outpost), and Chaske Spencer (The English) and they will star alongside Martin Sensmeie, who reprises his role as Wind River local Chip Hanson.

Wind River followed veteran hunter Corey Lambert (Jeremy Renner) who came on to help rookie FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) to investigate the murder of a young woman on the Wyoming Native American reservation known as Wind River.

In Wind River: The Next Chapter, “terror has escalated on the Wind River reservation as a series of ritualistic murders remain unsolved. The FBI enlists Chip Hanson, a newly minted tracker for the U.S. Fish & Game, who becomes embroiled in a desperate and dangerous fight between the authorities, a vigilante, and the Reservation he calls home.”

This next film will be directed by Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) from a script written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Gold). The movie is being produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, and it’s currently in production in Calgary.

Sheridan, who wrote and directed the first movie, will have nothing to do with the sequel. He’s been keeping busy with several all of his TV projects.
