Viggo Mortensen Talks Next Directorial Project After Western ‘The Dead Don’t Hurt’: ‘I Won’t Make a Movie Unless I Have Final Cut’


Viggo Mortensen talks next directorial project after ‘Falling’ and Western ‘The Dead Don’t Hurt,’ hopes Kevin Costner's ‘Horizon’ 'does well.'

The “Lord of the Rings” alumnus, who wrote the script for his next project “many years ago,” has been hoping to bring it to screen even before he made his directorial debut with “Falling” in 2020. Although he wasn’t initially planning to do so, he ended up playing Danish immigrant Holger, who, before he enlists, convinces Franco-Canadian Vivienne to live with him in Nevada. I did Cronenberg’s ‘Crimes of the Future’ the same year I did my first studio movie in a very long time: Ron Howard’s ‘Thirteen Lives.’ It was supposed to come out in thousands of theaters around the world, but then Amazon bought MGM and they decided to stream it, which was sad.
