OT: New Western

Harmonica · Post by **Harmonica** » Tue Feb 26, 2008 11:33 am

I've heard there is a new Western film coming out this year called Appaloosa starring Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris. Anyone heard any details and know when it may be released?

It might be a good one......Harris and Mortenson have done good westerns (& other genres too) before but for some reason I only get excited in advance if Tom Selleck or John Millius is involved.

They 'get' the western like few others currently in Hollywood.

It is based on a book by Robert B. Parker .He also writes the Spencer and Jesse Stone books and Selleck plays Jesse Stone .Thats like 2 degrees of seperation.

I've always liked Ed Harris, and Viggo earned my respect when I watched the 'extra' features about "The Lord of the Rings". He really got into it.

It's in post production and slated to be released this year.

With those two at the helm, it will no doubt be great.

Is this a remake of the "Appaloosa" that had Marlon Brando and John Saxon in it?
