Juliette Lewis Talks Working With Peter Dinklage in ‘The Thicket’ and Explains Her Surprise Exit From ‘Yellowjackets’: ‘I’m Good for a Series for Two Seasons’


Juliette Lewis talks about her 'The Thicket' co-star Peter Dinklage and explains her surprise exit from 'Yellowjackets.'

In the Elliott Lester-directed movie (in theaters Sept. 6), based on Joe R. Lansdale’s book of the same name, Lewis plays Cut Throat Bill, a violent hardened outlaw at the turn of the 20th century who kidnaps a young girl (Esmé Creed-Miles ). Which of those characters is the one that everyone always says, “Give me that line?” It runs the gamut from “Christmas Vacation,” “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” and Mallory, of course, from “ Yellowjackets.” That’s always a compliment when they remember things I said. It’s a highlight of my career and it reminds me of when I worked with Robert De Niro in “Cape Fear.” There’s sort of a transcendence that takes place where you touch on such a truth between these two people and we’re barely talking.
