Former combatants must band together to make a perilous trip from New Mexico to Montana in Director Scott Cooper’s new western adventure, Hostiles.
Set in 1892, Cooper’s film tells the story of a U.S. Cavalry officer (Christian Bale) who reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family on a harrowing journey from an isolated outpost in New Mexico through dangerous Comanche territory back to their tribal lands in Montana.
Following the DGA membership screening in Los Angeles on December 9, Cooper sat down with Director Peter Landesman (Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House) to discuss the making of Hostiles. Cooper also discussed the film in a conversation moderated by Director John Krokidas (Kill Your Darlings) following the DGA membership screening in New York on December 17.
In addition to Hostiles, Cooper’s credits include the feature films Black Mass, Out of the Furnace and Crazy Heart. Cooper has been a DGA member since 2008.
