- The Curse of Silver casts Lily Gladstone and Kiowa Gordon in a supernatural horror-western set on the lawless Texas-Mexico border in the aftermath of the Civil War, following two Union deserters who drag a cursed chest of Confederate silver into a besieged town.
- Geoff Marslett co-directs alongside Gordon, reuniting the pair; his previous credits include Annecy and FilmFest München title Quantum Cowboys and SXSW films Mars (starring Mark Duplass) and Loves Her Gun.
- The Curse of Silver is among 80 projects selected for the 2026 Gotham Week Project Market, running September 27–October 3 in Brooklyn; producers Liz Cardenas (A Ghost Story) and Ram Getz (Sunny) are attached, with the screenplay written by Marslett and Rafael A. Ruiz.
- Gladstone, Gordon, and Michael Mortensen serve as executive producers; Cardenas is a former Gotham Cannes Producers Network Fellow and Juror, and a start date has not been set.
- Gordon recently wrapped season 5 of AMC's Dark Winds, executive-produced by George R.R. Martin.
- Gladstone next stars opposite Michael B. Jordan in Amazon MGM's The Thomas Crown Affair, due out March 2027.
Why it matters: The reunion with Marslett anchors the horror-western with an auteur director whose festival pedigree (Annecy, SXSW, FilmFest München) gives the indie project credibility ahead of its Gotham Week showcase. Cardenas's Gotham Cannes Producers Network pedigree strengthens the financing package for a film that has not yet locked a production start date.
