After his passing, the widow of credited screenwriter Donald E. Stewart discovered the Hostiles script while moving houses. Stewart had never submitted the manuscript to any studios, and she was surprised to come across it. After seeing Crazy Heart (2009) and Out of the Furnace (2013), she felt that Scott Cooper was the right person to bring it to the screen.
