‘Wind River: Rising’ Will Be Reiner’s Final Film

While it currently has no release date, Reiner’s last film project appears to be a sequel to a 2017 thriller. “Wind River: Rising” — otherwise known as “Wind River: The Next Chapter” — will be the final film with Reiner in the credits, with the filmmaker acting as executive producer on the project.

As is often the case with executive producers on films, it is not really possible to tell exactly how much influence Reiner has had on “Wind River: Rising,” so his involvement might well be minimal. 

The neo-Western crime film is directed by Kari Skogland and written by Patrick Massett and John Zinman, with the likes of Martin Sensmeier, Gil Birmingham, Jason Clarke, and Scott Eastwood. It is a sequel to “Wind River,” which saw Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen star opposite each other in the film that was written and directed by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan.

An official synopsis for the film states, “Terror has escalated on the Wind River reservation as a series of ritualistic murders remain unsolved. The FBI, therefore, enlists the aid of Chip Hanson, a newly minted tracker for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, who becomes embroiled in a desperate and dangerous fight between the authorities, a vigilante and the Reservation he calls home.”

The movie was originally filmed in 2023 but, according to ScreenRant, has been marred in legal wrangling that meant it has been delayed multiple times. However, it is expected to get a full release date in the coming months.

Reiner’s most recent release before his death was the 2025 sequel “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.” A follow-up to the cult classic “This Is Spinal Tap,” the film sees Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprise their roles as members of the fictional band as they reunite to play a final gig.

As was the case with the original film, Reiner took on directing duties and also helped write the script alongside the three main stars. He also once again portrayed Martin “Marty” DiBergi, the documentarian charting the lives of the band members. 

Reiner has also directed the completed “Stonehenge: The Final Finale,” a concert film that will be released in 2026. According to NME, it will act as the final screen instalment from the fictional band and was captured from a show they played in August alongside musicians such as Eric Clapton and Shania Twain.
