The film’s plot charts a group of folks as they hunt for a rare Lakota Native American Ghost Shirt. While some seek the prize for fortune, others seek to return the item to its natural home. However, the hunt takes a turn and everyone on the journey must adapt in order to survive. In a statement, Tost touts his excitement to bring the story to life.

“I am truly honored to have the opportunity to bring National Anthem to life on film, and to work with Page Fifty-Four Pictures, Bron Studios and this incredible cast,” says Tost. “I’m especially thrilled to be bringing to the screen a vision of modern rural America that pays tribute to the myths of the West while also radically reinventing them.”

Halsey has sold over one million albums and has been streamed over six billion times in the United States. Her hits like “Bad At Love” and “Without Me” earned her a bevy of accolades and Grammy nominations. Additionally, the singer recently lent her voice talents to the animated film Sing 2. Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney stars alongside Zendaya in HBO’s hit series Euphoria. Up next, Sweeney joins Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse star Shameik Moore in a new crime drama titled Silver Star.
