A trailer has been released from Butcher’s Crossing, a new feature based on the novel of the same name by John Williams. Nicolas Cage, Fred Hechinger, Rachel Keller, Paul Raci, and Xander Berkley are among the cast for this one with Gabe Polsky at the helm.
Based on the seminal novel by John Edward Williams, Gabe Polsky’s epic frontier adventure, Butcher’s Crossing, is a riveting commentary on human nature, ambition, masculinity, and man’s relationship to his natural environment. Academy Award™ winner Nicolas Cage (1996, Best Actor, Leaving Las Vegas) stars in a gritty story about buffalo hunters in the Old West. Will Andrews (Fred Hechinger) has left Harvard to find adventure. He teams up with Miller (Cage), a mysterious frontiersman offering an unprecedented number of buffalo pelts in a secluded valley. Their crew must survive an arduous journey where the harsh elements will test everyone’s resolve, leaving their sanity on a knife’s edge.
The film will get a stateside release theatrically on 20th October. The film had a showing at TIFF so hopefully this one will come to the other side of the pond soon.
Here’s the trailer.
