Development

In July 2016 it was announced that Paul Dano would adapt Richard Ford's novel with a script he had co-written with Zoe Kazan, and that neither Dano nor Kazan would act in the film.[5] Dano said, "in Richard’s book I saw myself and many others. I have always wanted to make films—and have always known I would make films about family."[6] He has also said that this is the first in a series of films he wants to make about dysfunctional famillies.[7] The film was produced by June Pictures and Nine Stories Productions.[8]

In September 2016, it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan would star in the film.[8] American composer David Lang wrote the score.

Filming

Principal photography took place in Montana and Oklahoma (due to concerns with the winter weather in Montana).[9]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2018.[10][11] Shortly after, IFC Films acquired US distribution rights to the film.[12] It screened at the Cannes Film Festival on May 9, 2018.[13] It will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2018,[14][15] the New York Film Festival on September 30, 2018,[16] the 19th annual Woodstock Film Festival on October 13, 2018, and the 29th New Orleans Film Festival on October 18, 2018.[17] Wildlife is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 19, 2018.[18]
