There’s an exciting project on the horizon with a feature entitled BONE TOMAHAWK. It’s being described as a ‘brutally violent horror-Western’, which sounds perfect cinema-going film-fodder for this THN writer. The synopsis sees the focus on four men who attempt to save a group of captives from a band of cannibalistic oddities living on the edge of civilisation. It may sound a touch WRONG TURN/THE HILLS HAVE EYES but the genre-splicing setting adds an extra dimension – add to the fantastic main cast currently being assembled!
DEADWOOD and JUSTIFIED’s superb Timothy Olyphant has just been confirmed to take the lead in S. Craig Zahler directorial debut as John Brooder, surmised as ‘an eloquent sharpshooter who moved to the frontier in order to satisfy the dark impulses that lie beneath his polished exterior’. He’ll join the already onboard (Snake Plisskin himself) Kurt Russell, BOYS DON’T CRY’s Peter Sarsgaard, DEXTER actress Jennifer Carpenter and Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins.
It shoots early next year, I’m excited… How about you?
