THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD trailer – Angelina Jolie fights killers in a forest fire

Taylor Sheridan has written some solid gritty thrillers like SOCARIO and HELL OR HIGH WATER, and the series YELLOWSTONE. His newest project is THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD, which stars Angelina Jolie as a firefighter who is tasked with helping a young boy who witnessed his father’s murder, and now the killers are out to finish the job. Add to the conflict a forest fire, and you’ve got what should be an intense cinematic experience. The film is based on the Michael Koryta novel, and is intended to be a sort of modern western, not unlike HELL OR HIGH WATER. The cast also features Nicholas Hoult, Aiden Gillen, Medina Senghore, Tyler Perry, Jake Weber, and Jon Bernthal. Sheridan is also directing this time around, his third movie as director after VILE and WIND RIVER. Check out the trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Oscar winner Jolie (“Girl, Interrupted,” the “Maleficent” films) stars as Hannah, a smoke jumper still reeling from the loss of three lives she failed to save from a fire when she comes across a traumatized 12-year-old boy with nowhere else to turn.

THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD hits theaters and HBO Max on May 14, 2021
