Will Oldham, the actor known for movies such as Old Joy and Matewan, is now starring in a new indie movie, New Jerusalem.

Here’s a synopsis:

“Sean, an Irish immigrant to America, returning from military service in Afghanistan, finds his heart and mind in disarray. He befriends Ike, (Will Oldham, in his first leading roll since Old Joy) a strong willed Evangelical Christian, who endeavors to ensure the fragile Seanʼs salvation. A meditation on mutual need and frailty, New Jerusalem explores the allure and limitations of modern utopian belief.”

“A delicately observed film about relationships and vulnerability…impressively performed by Colm
OʼLeary and Will Oldham.” — Mark Adams, Screen Daily

“Oldham creates a haunting portrait.” — Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
