Cast

Production

In October 2022 it was revealed that Mortensen would direct and star in a film he had written, with Vicky Krieps, Solly McLeod, Danny Huston, Tom Bateman, Lance Henriksen, and W. Earl Brown also appearing in the film. Mortensen worked once again with a number of people who worked with him on his previous films including Marcel Zyskind, production designer Carol Spier and art director Jason Clarke, and costume designer Anne Dixon.[3] Krieps described working with Mortensen on the film to The Times as "In the world of westerns there were not many women. So that was very tough. Of all men he is very soft and open and very 'there'. But still it reminded me why I like to work with women."[4] The Dead Don't Hurt began filming in Canada on 12 October 2022 with Canadian locations including Ontario and British Columbia, with filming also taking place in Durango, Mexico. The project is a joint Talipot Studio, Recorded Picture and Perceval Pictures production.[5] Filming was reportedly finished in December 2022.[6]
