Badlands is a 1973 film directed by Terrence Malick from his own script, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. Warren Oates and Ramon Bieri are also featured. Malick has a small speaking part although he does not receive an acting credit.
The film was edited by Robert Estrin; Billy Weber is credited as associate editor and both he and the art designer Jack Fisk went on to work on Malick's next three features Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005).
Malick also pointed out that "Kit and Holly even think of themselves as living in a fairy tale," and he felt that was very appropriate as "children's books like Treasure Island were often filled with violence." He also hoped a "fairy tale" tone would "take a little of the sharpness out of the violence but still keep its dreamy quality."
