I love some Willem Dafoe and by all accounts, his upcoming film, THE HUNTER, is his best performance in years. The film premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival and will be coming your way this spring via Magnolia Pictures. What’s the haps?
THE HUNTER is the story of Martin, a skilled and ruthless mercenary sent into the Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger believed to be extinct. Hired by an anonymous company that wants the tiger’s genetic material, Martin arrives in Tasmania posing as a scientist. He proceeds to set up base camp at a broken-down farmhouse, where he stays with a family whose father has gone missing. Usually a loner, Martin becomes increasingly close to the family; however, as his attachment to the family grows, Martin is led down a path of unforeseen dangers, complicating his deadly mission.
Unforeseen dangers? Yes. We’re happy today to give you an exclusive look at the poster for THE HUNTER, which you can check out below! THE HUNTER hits on-demand on March 2nd and in theaters on April 6th. You can check out the film’s official Facebook page for more.
