12 Movies and TV Shows on Our August Radar2 of 12
Wind River
Taylor Sheridan could've laid claim to being Hollywood's breakout success story last year if he would've just sat still for a moment. But the Hell or High Water screenwriter barely took a breath to enjoy watching his Western become a box-office hit and quadruple Oscar nominee because he was getting Wind River, his directorial debut, ready for Sundance this past January. (He also wrote Soldado, the sequel to his Sicario script and got the mini-series "Yellowstone" greenlighted). Wind River picked up further momentum at Cannes, where Sheridan won the Un Certain Regard award for Best Director, essentially assuring us that the filmmaker is due for a potentially bigger year in 2017. — Arno
