In Taylor Sheridan’s new movie Those Who Wish Me Dead, a teenage witness to a murder finds himself pursued by twin assassins. Trekking across the Montana wilderness with a survivalist as his protector, and a raging forest fire threatening them all, he must figure out how to escape to safety. Michael Koryta wrote the screenplay for the movie based on his novel of the same name. Let’s take a look at the stellar cast now.

Angelina Jolie

Jolie has been a household name for nearly three decades. She got her first starring role in a major film in 1995’s Hackers. She soon followed up with an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Girl, Interrupted in 1999. Over the last decade, Jolie has branched out and worked as a director, writer, and producer.

Nicholas Hoult

You may think of Hoult as Nux in Mad Max: Fury Road, or the flirtatious Kenny Potter in A Single Man, but his first big break came when he was cast opposite Hugh Grant in About a Boy at just eleven years old. British television fans will also remember Hoult as the flirtatiously reckless, heteroflexible Tony on the first two seasons of the teen drama Skins.

Tyler Perry

Perry is better known for his filmmaking than his acting. He created and starred in the Madea movies and runs his own production company based in Atlanta, Georgia. He has shown off his dramatic acting chops with roles in films like Gone Girl and Vice.

Jon Bernthal

Bernthal got his big break, not in movies, but television. He was a series regular on the ABC series Eastwick. Although the show only lasted for one season, he wasn’t unemployed for long. After Eastwick ended, he was cast in the HBO miniseries The Pacific, and then as a series regular on The Walking Dead.
