The Thicket: Levon Hawke Played Red Dead Redemption 2 to Prep for Western Role

As a fan who grew up with the magic of Western films spinning tales of adventure and grit, I must say that the interview with the cast of “The Thicket” has stirred my heart with anticipation! Leslie Grace’s dedication to embodying the frosty cold and Leslon Hawke’s imaginative fusion of classic western storytelling with modern gaming experiences are truly inspiring.


In our recent interview with the cast of the upcoming western thriller “The Thicket”, we delved into what sparked their captivating performances. Leslie Grace immersed herself in acting amidst the chill and snow, while Gbenga Akinnagbe drew inspiration from his lifelong fascination with traditional westerns. Levon Hawke, on the other hand, combined his passion for westerns with an abundance of playing “Red Dead Redemption 2“. This game also featured snowy landscapes, which enabled him to effectively manage multiple mental tasks and fine-tune his portrayal of a cold and barren Western environment

It seems that the phrase “I’d never had that experience before” is used interchangeably for “We’d watch the spaghetti Westerns on Channel 5 growing up. Clint Eastwood, all of them, John Wayne, and you go out and you play, as a kid, all these games as well.”

According to the film’s summary, in “The Thicket“, a formidable bounty hunter named Reginald Jones (Peter Dinklage) is hired by a distressed individual to locate a ruthless outlaw called Cutthroat Bill (Juliette Lewis). Gathering an assortment of unusual allies such as a former slave who digs graves and a cunning woman-for-hire, they join forces for a risky mission. This quest takes them into the treacherous territory known as…The Thicket

The Thicket will land in theaters on September 6th before traveling to Tubi for streaming.
