Two Wolves | by Alex Gibney, starring Viggo Mortensen

[Cremildo]

Viggo Mortensen and Caleb Landry Jones will lead the cast of Two Wolves, a Vietnam War-set thriller being helmed by Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney.

The pic tells the story of helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson who, during the Wwr, turned against his fellow soldiers to halt the massacre of unarmed civilians in the village of My Lai, and rescued survivors of the atrocities.

Instead of being treated as a hero, Thompson was branded a traitor and threatened with court-martial. It came down to General William ‘Ray’ Peers to investigate what really happened at My Lai and to corroborate the truth of Hugh Thompson’s story.

Anthony McCarten (The Theory Of Everything) has written the screenplay with Matt Cook (The Informer). [+]
