Nichols is gearing up to shoot “Land of Opportunity” which I had previously reported had Brad Pitt in talks to star. At the time, Pitt had only read the script, and his participation was still not official. Production List now has a May 2025 shoot set up for the film in Arkansas.
In the early 2010s, Nichols sold a script to HBO for the pilot episode of a TV series he wrote, it was called “Land of Opportunity.” It’s said to be a “dystopian story” set in Arkansas, about a new Great Depression where oil has run out and the dollar has collapsed. However, HBO chose not to go ahead with the project and instead Nichols has now turned it into a feature length film.
