    Juliette Lewis and Peter Dinklage are unlikely outlaws, and cruel and bloody killers to boot, in the trailer for Tubi’s dark Western The Thicket, which dropped on Tuesday.

    “You’re the littlest man I’ve ever seen,” Lewis, who plays violent gang leader Cutthroat Bill, tells Dinklage’s character, crafty bounty hunter Reginald Jones, a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave and a street-smart prostitute, at one point in the trailer.

    “You’re the ugliest,” Reginald, no less a violent killer than Bill, shoots back. Director Elliott Lester’s film has Reginald on a collision course with Bill after her gang kidnaps the sister of Jack, an innocent young man played by Levon Hawke, the son of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.

    The Thicket

    Reginald and Jack track the sister into a violent no man’s land known as The Big Thicket on a mission to rescue her from Bill. The Thicket , set in turn-of-the-century Texas, also stars Esmé Creed-Miles, Macon Blair, Andrew Schulz, James Hetfield, David Midthunder, Arliss Howard, Leslie Grace and Gbenga Akinnagbe.

    Chris Kelley wrote the script for the long-gestating passion project for Dinklage, which is based on the novel The Thicket by writer Joe R. Lansdale. The Thicket movie adaptation, which will also screen at the Deauville Film Festival and hit domestic theaters Sept. 6, was shot in Calgary, Alberta.

    The indie, from Tubi Films, Dinklage and David Ginsberg of Estuary Films, is produced by Andre L III, Gianni Nunnari, Caddy Vanasirikul, Brian O’Shea, Chad Oakes, Michael Frislev, Elliott Lester and Shannon Gaulding.

    Blair Ward, Anders Erdén, Eric Harbert, Giovanna Trischitta, Nat McCormick, Danny Gusman, Robyn Norwood and Adriana Lima share the executive producer credits.
