Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie is set to star in an upcoming period thriller called Dreamland. She is also set to executive produce the film, which tells a story set in the 1930s, amid the devastation of the Dust Bowl.
According to THR, the movie follows "a 15-year-old boy on his quest to capture a fugitive bank robber and collect the bounty on her head, all with the goal of saving his family farm from foreclosure. Against all odds, he beats out the FBI and the local police to find her, only to discover that she's far more than what the authorities claim her to be." Robbie will be playing the bank robber.
Sounds like a great story! The movie will be directed by indie filmmaker Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, who directed the Sundance Film As You Are. The script for the film comes from Nicolaas Zwart and it was on the 2015 Black List of best-unproduced screenplays.

And though David Ayer’s anti-hero pic bombed with critics, a box office haul of $745 million has been enough to warrant talk of not only a sequel, but a female-fronted spinoff in the form of Gotham City Sirens.
The latter is reportedly eyeing a theatrical release in 2019, when Ayer will once again be directing Margot Robbie from behind the lens, but The Hollywood Reporter today brings word of another project to add to the actress’ bustling slate. Its name? Dreamland, a taut thriller set during the height of The Dust Bowl (Aka...
