“I’m not running from anyone. I’m not hiding. I’m here because I choose to be,” says Robin Wright in a new trailer for “Land.” Set to make its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival in January, the drama marks Wright’s feature directorial debut and tells the story of Edee (Wright), a woman who leaves city life behind and moves to the Rockies in the aftermath of a tragedy.
As Edee explains it, she finds it “really difficult to be around people.” She discovers the isolation she craves in the American wilderness, but seems unprepared for the harsh realties of life there. A local hunter (Demián Bichir) offers to teach her outdoor skills, and in the process, “brings her back from the brink of death,” the film’s synopsis teases.
Wright earned six Emmy nominations for her leading role on “House of Cards.” She also directed 10 episodes of the Netflix political drama. The “Princess Bride” actress will be seen next in Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984,” which hits theaters and HBO Max December 25.
Written by Erin Dignam (“Submergence”) and Jesse Chatham, “Land” opens February 12.
