Synopsis
A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) – a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she’s no victim – a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve.

Trivia
- Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson were supposed to star as Liz and Samuel respectively, but got replaced by Dakota Fanning and Kit Harington just before shooting was supposed to begin. Wasikowska backed out of the production due to “unforeseen personal circumstances”. When one of the movie’s financiers subsequently pulled out, the movie was nearly bankrupted before any footage was shot, since crew and equipment had already been hired and complete sets had been built. When Guy Pearce took the plane to come to Europe, he took a huge risk, because the financing was not completely in place. However, he had been very enthusiastic about his Reverend character since meeting with director Martin Koolhoven, and his presence was a deciding factor in securing the rest of the budget. Within a few days, Wasikowska was replaced by Fanning (who had already been considered for the part, but had availability problems before), but then Pattinson suddenly backed out. Luckily, Harington was prepared to cut his holiday short, leaving him only a few days to get to the set and prepare for filming. In a 2017 interview, Robert Pattinson stated he had backed out because he thought the movie would be canceled after Wasikowska pulled out, and that by the time the production got back on track again, his schedule was too tight because of his involvement in The Lost City of Z (2016). He said that it was “his own, stupid fault” and that he regretted not doing the movie.
- The outlaw gang of which Kit Harington and Jack Roth are part have stolen the gold in the town of Bismuth. When Kit throws his saddle on the floor in the church, a pouch falls out. On it, its says ‘Bismuth’ (the mining town where Joanna will later flee to).
- Kit Harington and Carice van Houten have both worked on Game of Thrones (2011).
