Says Reese Witherspoon, who also produced the film with her partner Bruna Papandrea: “WILD is about so many things that touch people. The fact that WILD takes a different, less expected direction served as an attraction to many of filmmakers. However, from the 1912 silent film THE CONQUEST OF THE POLE to JEREMIAH JOHNSON to INTO THE WILD to 127 HOURS, nearly all have traced the paths of men far from civilization. Wilderness epics have been around since the beginning of cinema. On the trail, Strayed faced down thirst, heat, cold, feral animals and all of her worst fears, but even more so, she faced up to change: pushing through to carve her own path out of grief and a haunted past.īoth director and star face najor challenges in making this movie, since it story unfolds largely inside one woman’s head –a flood of memories, fears, ideas, songs, poems, anger and awe.
Mixing punk spirit with vibrant honesty, Wild offers a portrait of a modern, messed-up woman coming-of-age by embracing the call of the wild in her own way. Strayed’s experiences became the beating heart of an inspirational, best-selling memoir that was about more than just an inexperienced hiker’s crazy, grueling experience walking from the Mojave Desert to the Pacific Northwest via the rugged Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Thinking she’d lost everything, Cheryl Strayed walked out of her broken-down life and into the deep wilderness on a 1,100-mile solo hike that would take her to the edge. WILD reveals her terrors and pleasures –as she forges ahead on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her. Haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi (Laura Dern), but with no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own. After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction and the destruction of her marriage, Cheryl Strayed makes a rash decision. Scribe Nick Hornby has adapted bestselling author Cheryl Strayed’s adventure book to the big screen. In WILD, director Jean-Marc Vallée guides Reese Witherspoon to her best performance in a decade as Cheryl Strayed.
