Metallica frontman James Hetfield will appear in the upcoming Western thriller The Thicket, alongside Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis. His role is yet to be revealed; shooting is underway in Calgary.
The Thicket examines a kidnapping in West Texas, with a killer known as Cut Throat Bill abducting a girl, and her brother hiring a bounty hunter named Reginald Jones to locate her. Soon, he’s in charge of a bunch of misfits who join him on his quest.
This is not Hetfield’s first film rodeo: several years ago, he played a police officer in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile, with Zac Efron and Lily Collins.
Love, Dr. Scott James
