Peter Dinklage to star in crime thriller 'The Thicket'

Los Angeles: 'Game of Thrones' star Peter Dinklage is all set to star in Joe Lansdale's adaptation of 'The Thicket'.

The crime thriller is set in East Texas in the early 20th century and revolves around a young man who goes on a quest to rescue his sister after she has been kidnapped by a violent killer.

He enlists the help of a crafty bounty hunter named Shorty played by Dinklage, a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave and a street-smart prostitute to help him on his mission.

Nunnari is producing along with Dinklage and his longtime manager David Ginsberg. Dinklage is best known for playing Tyrion Lannister on 'Game of Thones', for which he's won an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
