Metallica’s James Hetfield Witnesses Peter Dinklage’s Fury in ‘The Thicket’ Clip
The Thicket is just a week away from release, and Billboard is exclusively sharing a clip featuring Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
In the clip from Tubi Films’ adventure-thriller, Peter Dinklage’s character demands payment from Dr. Grace, as Hetfield’s character is seen at the table. An altercation between the two occur, with Hetfield left with his hands up in surrender to not be the next victim.
It’s hardly Hetfield’s first time on the big screen, as he previously appeared in films and TV shows including Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, Skylanders Academy, American Dad! and more.
The show, written by Chris Kelly and based on the novel of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale, promises “vengeance, justice, and unlikely companionship,” and the Elliott Lester-directed adaptation follows the story of bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Dinklage) after he’s recruited to track down a brutal killer known as Cutthroat Bill (Juliette Lewis). He then rallies a band of unexpected heroes to take down the enemy, leading them into the treacherous “no-man’s land” known as The Thicket.
In addition to Dinklage, Lewis and Hetfield, The Thicket also stars Esmé Creed-Miles, Levon Hawke, Macon Blair, Andrew Schulz, David Midthunder, Arliss Howard, Leslie Grace and Gbenga Akinnagbe.
The Thicket hits theaters Sept. 6. Check out the exclusive clip via Billboard below.
