Aaron Eckhart has signed on to star in The Old Man in the Dunes, an “inspirational thriller” from Angel Studios, the faith-based distributor behind Sound of Freedom and The King of Kings.
The feature, based on an award-winning short, traces the story of an enigmatic old man living in the dunes who is unjustly accused of killing a local. His only hope is a steadfast public defender determined to unearth the truth. According to a summary of the plot, the story “delves deep into the human soul, underscoring the consequences of concealing the truth and the redemption that can be found in repentance.”
Christian Guiton wrote The Old Man in the Dunes and will direct the film as his feature debut. Noli Molla and Mark Holder are producing for Wonder Street, alongside Jacques Abrahamian. The film is set to begin shooting in the third quarter of this year for a planned 2026 release.
