Variety is reporting that Jesse Eisenberg is set to executive produce and star in Wild Indian, an indie thriller from writer-director Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr., which was developed through the Sundance Writers and Directors Lab.
Wild Indian “follows two Anishinaabe men who are inextricably bound together after covering up the savage murder of a schoolmate. After years of separation following wildly divergent paths, they must finally confront how their traumatic secret has irrevocably shaped their lives.”
The film is currently shooting in Oklahoma City, with Eisenberg joined in the cast by Michael Greyeyes (True Detective), Chaske Spencer (Blindspot), Kate Bosworth (The I-Land) and Scott Haze (Venom).
Eisenberg was last seen on the big screen this year in the horror-comedy sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, and has recently completed filming on the World War II dramedy Resistance from director Jonathan Jakubowicz (Hands of Stone), where he plays the legendary French mime artist Marcel Marceau.
