I understand Sonnier was murdered in 2012 and his late-wife Becky Balentine died of natural causes in 2010, but where do they fit into this movie? Were they related to the director, producer(s) or who?
shareThey are the producer Dallas Sonnier's parents. They were both murdered, 2 years apart, in separate incidents.
Here's an article by him in which talks about it: http://hollywoodjournal.com/personal-journeys/the-making-of-bone-tomahawk-at-all-costs/20141027/
Wow, that's bizarre and sad at the same time. Didn't know the whole story.
Thanks for letting me know.
