Deadline has reported that Daisy Edgar-Jones, Diego Calva and Will Poulter have signed on to star in the upcoming film adaptation of ‘On Swift Horses’, based on Shannon Pufahl’s drama novel of the same name. Also rounding out the cast is Jacob Elordi and Sasha Calle. The movie is set to be directed by Daniel Minahan from a screenplay written by Bryce Kass.
“A lonely newlywed and her wayward brother-in-law follow divergent and dangerous paths through the postwar American West. Muriel is newly married and restless, transplanted from her rural Kansas hometown to life in a dusty bungalow in San Diego. The air is rich with the tang of salt and citrus, but the limits of her new life seem to be closing in: She misses her freethinking mother, dead before Muriel’s nineteenth birthday, and her sly, itinerant brother-in-law, Julius, who made the world feel bigger than she had imagined. And so she begins slipping off to the Del Mar racetrack to bet and eavesdrop, learning the language of horses and risk,” the book’s official synopsis reads.
