Jacques Audiard's (A Prophet, Rust and Bone) new film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal and John C Reilly.
Based on Patrick DeWitts novel, The Sisters Brothers revolves around the colourfylly named gold prospector Hermann Kermit Warm, who's being pursued across 1000 miles of 1980s Oregon desert to San Francisco by the notorious assassin's Eli and Charlie Sisters. Except Eli is having a personal crisis and beginning to doubt the longevity of his career. And Hermann might have a better offer.
“The Night Of” star Riz Ahmed has joined Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly, and Jake Gyllenhaal in “The Sisters Brothers.”
Jacques Audiard is directing the indie feature, based on Patrick deWitt’s novel of the same name. The pic is a co-production between Why Not productions and Page 114. Alison Dickey, John C. Reilly, and Michael De Luca are producing.
Reilly originally optioned the rights to the book. The story follows two brothers — Eli and Charlie Sisters — who are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. The story takes place in Oregon in 1851.
It’s unknown who Ahmed will play in the film.
“The Sisters Brothers” is Audiard’s follow-up to his Palme d’Or winning “Dheepan,” which premiered at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Production is set to start sometime this summer. The noir Western will be his first film shot completely in English.
