CrimeReads Interview: C.J. Box on Big Sky, Big Twists, and Bringing a New Western Thriller to Montana

NOVEMBER 16, 2020 BY MICHAEL BARSON

The new thriller, Big Sky marks the first time the author's work has been adapted for the screen. It's long overdue.

It took twenty years for author C.J. Box, but at long last there is a filmed version of one of his best-selling crime novels. Big Sky, an adaptation (mostly) of Box’s 2013 thriller The Highway, is set to air on ABC on November 17, developed and written by the much-decorated producer David E. Kelley. The ten-episode series features Kylie Bunbury and Ryan Phillipe as Box’s protagonists Cassie Dewell and Cody Hoyt, with Katheryn Winnick playing a character invented for Big Sky.
