Today, Lili Simmons (“True Detective,” “Banshee”) joins as the female lead, with David Arquette (Scream), Sid Haig (The Devil’s Rejects), Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case”), and Evan Jonigkeit (“Girls”) also set to star in the Caliber Media production.
Simmons will play Samantha O’Dwyer, the de facto doctor of Bright Hope and the dedicated wife to Patrick Wilson’s Arthur ODwyer. Arquette and Haig play a couple of filthy brigands whose actions set off a string of violent repercussions. Morris will play the wife to Kurt Russell’s Sheriff Hunt and Jonigkeit will play a young deputy sheriff.

They join the previously announced castings of Russell, Wilson, Matthew Fox and Richard Jenkins.
In Bone Tomahawk, four men attempt to rescue a group of captives from a band of cannibalistic troglodytes that live beyond the edge of civilization.
Caliber Media partners Dallas Sonnier and Jack Heller will produce and arranged the majority of the financing through a deal with The Fyzz Facility’s Wayne Marc Godfrey, Robert Jones and David Gilbery, who will serve as Executive Producers.
