Garret Dillahunt (“No Country for Old Men”), Michelle Hurd (“Star Trek: Picard”) and Henry Ian Cusick (“Lost”) are set to lead upcoming psychological thriller “Bloodwood.”
The film marks the feature directorial debut of Robert Menzies, who also wrote the original screenplay based on his novel. Essential Film Group is handling worldwide sales.
“Bloodwood” follows Jake (Dillahunt), a man running from his past who journeys deep into the Amazon to hunt Vargas (Cusick), a trafficker responsible for the death of his wife. What begins as a calculated mission becomes a spiraling odyssey upriver alongside Ryan (Hurd), a guarded wildlife veterinarian with a past of her own. As the jungle fractures memory, time, and perception, Jake is pulled into a hallucinatory confrontation with the choices that led him here — and the woman he left behind.
