Abbey Lee (The Neon Demon, “Lovecraft Country”, Old) and Possessor‘s Christopher Abbott head into the Outback in Fear is the Rider, a chase thriller from BAFTA-nominated director John Michael McDonagh (The Guard, Calvary, The Forgiven), reports Deadline.
“It tells the story of John Shaw (Abbott), a photojournalist who arrives in Australia trying to recover from his experiences reporting on the Vietnam War. After meeting a young woman (Lee) in a small-town bar, he decides to detour into the Outback to photograph cave paintings.
“Out there, under the baking sun, people can die within hours. But the elements are not the most hazardous thing in the bush, and Shaw and his mysterious companion soon find themselves caught up in an unrelenting fight for survival.
Fear is the Rider is based on Kenneth Cook’s (“Wake in Fright”) acclaimed novel of the same name.
