'Wild Indian' Trailer: The Past Bites Back For Michael Greyeyes

The past comes back to haunt one man in the new trailer for “Wild Indian.” Years after covering up his classmate’s murder and holding in that secret, Michael has moved off his reservation and started a new life with his wife, son, and a new job. But when the one person who knows his secret reemerges in his life, Michael has to do what he can to protect his new life.

The movie, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, was written and directed by Lyle Mitchell Corbine Jr. As he is an Indigenous American himself, Corbine brings a gripping and not-often-seen look at a modern Native American man to the movie-going experience. This is Corbine’s feature film debut as a writer and director.

The movie stars Michael Greyeyes (“I Know This Much is True“), Chaske Spencer (The “Twilight” movies), Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network“), Kate Bosworth (“Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!“), and Lisa Cromarty (“It Chapter 2“).
