OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma-made movie “Wildlife” will have its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, set for Jan. 18-28 in Park City, Utah.

The June Pictures production will compete in the U.S. Dramatic Competition category, according to a news release, and is one of 110 feature films to be selected for the prestigious event that annually sees thousands of the film industry’s top professionals in attendance.

As previously reported, “Wildlife” marks the directorial debut of Golden Globe-nominated actor Paul Dano ("Love & Mercy," "Little Miss Sunshine") who assembled an all-star cast for the film, including Academy Award nominees Jake Gyllenhaal (“Brokeback Mountain”) and Carey Mulligan (“An Education”) alongside Ed Oxenbould (“Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”) and Bill Camp (“The Night Of”).

Based on the novel by Richard Ford, the film tells the story of a teenage boy who witnesses the decay of his parents’ marriage after their move to Montana. “Wildlife” was adapted for the screen by Dano alongside actress Zoe Kazan, with Andrew Duncan, Alex Saks, Oren Moverman, Ann Ruark, Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker serving as producers.
