Renner & Olsen team-up to solve a murder in the intense Wind River trailer

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

From director Taylor Sheridan (SICARIO, HELL OR HIGH WATER) comes WIND RIVER, a murder mystery thriller starring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and Jon Bernthal. Written by Sheridan, produced by Peter Borg (LONE SURVIVOR, HELL OR HIGH WATER), and scored by rock n roll gods Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (HELL OR HIGH WATER, WAR MACHINE), WIND RIVER is a chilling thriller that follows a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) who teams up with a local game tracker with deep community ties and a haunted past (Jeremy Renner) to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native American Reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death.

I think this movie looks pretty intense. You can check out the trailer for yourself by watching the video posted below:

While I have yet to see Sheridan's HELL OR HIGH WATER, I did purchase it on Amazon, just moments ago. It's been quite some time since I've seen a solid murder mystery, and from what I can see in the trailer, WIND RIVER looks to deliver a sordid riddle of a murder, chilling, atmospheric locales, and plenty of violence. Honestly, after watching SICARIO last year, I would expect anything less from Sheridan and his team.

The Weinstein Company is expected to release WIND RIVER in select theaters on August 4, 2017.
