You won’t be able to turn around at the Toronto International Film Festival this year without bumping into a high profile movie, but certainly one of the biggest is “Hostiles.” The new film from writer/director Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart,” “Out Of The Furnance“) will be making its International Premiere, and its brimming with potential and talent, starting with the cast.

Starring Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, Adam Beach, Ben Foster, Jesse Plemons, Rory Cochrane, and Q’orianka Kilcher, the story is set in 1892 and follows an Army captain who agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief through dangerous territory. Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in 1892, Hostiles tells the story of a legendary Army Captain (Christian Bale) who, after stern resistance, reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family back home to tribal lands. Making the harrowing and perilous journey from New Mexico to the grasslands of Montana, the former rivals encounter a young widow (Rosamund Pike) whose family was murdered on the plains. Together, they must join forces to overcome the punishing landscape, hostile Comanche, and vicious outliers they encounter along the way.

Pretty nifty premise, and the film will look and sound great too with cinematography by Masanobu Takayanagi (“Spotlight,” “Out Of The Furnace”) and a score by Max Richter (“The Leftovers,” “Waltz With Bashir“). No release date has been set for the film which will be seeking distribution.
