Weaving together Navajo legend with themes of industrialism, 'Valley of the Gods' is the latest surreal drama film by Polish filmmaker Lech Majewski. The movie boasts an impressive cast and some interesting characters, so let's take a look at the actors who will be bringing these characters to life.

Here are five of the most notable cast members appearing in the movie.

He has also had important roles on a number of other projects including 'Black Hawk Down', 'Lucky Number Slevin', '40 Days and 40 Nights', and the horror TV series 'Penny Dreadful'. In the movie, Hartnett will be playing the role of struggling writer John Ecas, who is working as the biographer for a rich but reclusive man when the events of the movie take place.

The rich man whose biography Ecas is writing is the reclusive industrialist Wes Tauros, played by John Malkovich. A recipient of multiple prestigious awards and nominations, Malkovich is an iconic American actor, voice actor, director, producer and fashion designer. Malkovich has received Oscar nominations for his performances in 'Places in the Heart' and 'In the Line of Fire'. In 'Valley of the Gods', Malkovich's character is an eccentric and a recluse who is dead-set on mining sacred lands for uranium.
