The Netflix thriller will star Alexander Skarsgard, Jeffrey Wright, James Badge Dale, Riley Keough and James Bloor.
The follow-up to the director’s “Green Room” is based on the book by William Giraldi and is set in the Alaskan wilderness, where wolves are killing children. A biologist arrives on the scene to investigate and tangles with a dead boy’s dysfunctional parents.
