Tubi Films on Thursday unveiled first look photos for its Western thriller The Thicket, starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis, also announcing that it will be released in theaters on Friday, September 6.

An adaptation of the novel of the same name by Joe Lansdale, the film watches as fierce bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Dinklage) is recruited by a desperate man to track down a ruthless killer known only as Cutthroat Bill (Lewis). To do so, he rallies a band of unlikely heroes including a grave-digging ex-slave and a street-smart woman-for-hire. Together they embark on a perilous quest to track down Cutthroat Bill that leads them into the deadly “no-man’s-land” known as…The Thicket.
