New Film Set in Montana Has Star-Studded Cast

This film has a star-studded cast with recognizable talent our state hasn't seen.

Montana has been a hot spot for films and television for several years. Shows like Yellowstone and movies like Montana Story have shown how beautiful and grand our state looks at all different times of the year.

Big Sky Country sees many small or independent films hold productions everywhere, from Polson to Livingston to some of our ghost towns.

We have seen movie stars like Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford, and Helen Mirren make films and TV shows in Montana and enjoy their time with the area and locals.

A new movie is on the horizon, and it has awards potential.

Deadline reports a new film is coming out and set in Montana. The thriller is called The Ploughman and has a stacked cast.

Based on the same book, the movie will start filming this fall, and the prolific actor Ed Harris is the director. Ed Harris has been nominated for four Academy Awards and is known for his films Apollo 13, The Truman Show, and many more.

The film will star Academy Award-nominated actor Nick Nolte, Academy Award-nominated actor Bill Murray, and Owen Teague.

The movie is set in the wilderness of Montana and deals with a caught serial killer. This film has a ton of potential.

Harris wants to do the story justice and plans on filming most of the production in Montana.

This movie will be the third film Ed Harris will have directed. He has also directed the acclaimed western Appaloosa and the Oscar-nominated Pollock.

The landscape of Montana's wilderness will give this film an eerie feeling and will be on full display.

This movie has the potential to be a major awards contender in 2025. Only time will tell.
