EXCLUSIVE: Black Bear International and UTA Independent Film Group have launched world sales on On Swift Horses, the buzzy project we told you about two months ago starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where The Crawdads Sing), Jacob Elordi (Euphoria), Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Diego Calva (Babylon) and Sasha Calle (The Flash). The film is currently in post-production.
Based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl, the story follows newlyweds Muriel and Lee who are beginning a new life when he returns from the Korean War. However, their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret. A dangerous love triangle is quickly formed, as the three vow to start a new life together in California, but their bid for the American Dream is blown apart when Julius disappears and heads for Las Vegas instead. Muriel embarks on a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and discovering a love she never thought possible.
