Kiefer Sutherland is set to star in the upcoming action thriller Sierra Madre, a film that promises to deliver intense drama and gripping action. The story revolves around Sutherland's character, Captain Jordan Wright, and his squadron who are granted leave to attend a crewmate's wedding in Mexico. However, their celebrations are cut short when they find themselves facing off against a murderous cartel.
As the situation escalates, Jordan must lead his men in a battle for survival, pitting his squad against the ruthless cartel forces. The film, which is set to be directed by Justin Chadwick from a script by Delbert Hancock and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, is already generating buzz in the industry.
Production for Sierra Madre is scheduled to begin this fall in Colombia, with a talented team of producers including Robert Stein, James Keach, and Griff Furst. Highland Film Group, the company behind the project, is co-financing the film and will be handling its worldwide distribution rights.
Sutherland expressed his excitement about joining the cast of Sierra Madre, praising the compelling storyline and the emotional depth of the characters. Highland Film Group's CEO, Arianne Fraser, commended Sutherland's ability to embody the spirit of leadership and brotherhood that the film portrays.
The film's exotic setting in Mexico adds an additional layer of intrigue to the narrative, showcasing themes of heroism and camaraderie. Director Justin Chadwick's reputation for bringing out powerful performances from his actors has further raised expectations for Sierra Madre.
Highland Film Group's diverse slate of projects, including other thrillers like The Postcard Killer and Land of Bad, underscores their commitment to delivering high-quality entertainment. Sutherland, represented by top agencies CAA and Entertainment 360, continues to impress audiences with his versatile acting skills, most recently in Clint Eastwood's Juror #2.
