InTerror on the Prairie, Day-Lewis will play ‘The Kid.’ A supporting role, the character is described as an outlaw whose seemingly innocent facade hides a darker reality.

Shooting onTerror on the Prairieis currently underway in Montana. Of the project, Polish stated, “Returning to my home state of Montana to direct a western for Dallas and Amanda, a rare of breed of producers who I truly respect, had tremendous appeal.”
This project marks the first big role for Gina Carano after she wascontroversially oustedfromThe Mandalorian. After playing the character Cara Dune in the show’s first two seasons on Disney+, it was announced that Disney was parting ways with Carano, essentially firing her from the role. The decision came after a series of social media posts from Carano that resulted in campaigns fromMandalorianfans to have her fired from the series.
Another project that is in the works with Carano isWhite Knuckle, adark thriller. This was the first project that Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire approached Carano with soon after she was let go fromThe Mandalorian. That project ended up getting delayed and won’t start filming until early next year. This opened the door for Carano to pursue another project in the meantime, and production moved forward onTerror on the Prairiewith Carano involved on both sides of the camera.
“I’m completely ignited to be creating this thriller with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend,” Gina said ofWhite Knuckle. “I feel I am exactly where I want and need to be at this moment in my life; it feels as if I have wings.”
Filming is happening right now in Montana onTerror on the Prairie. The project doesn’t have an official release date at this time, but it will be available forstreamingfor Daily Wire members in 2022. This news comes to us fromDeadline.
