The exceptionally well cast and awesome sounding horror Western BONE TOMAHAWK was recently picked up for distribution in the U.S. and Canada by RLJ Entertainment, and while we still don't have word on a release date, a new poster for the film has made its way online and can be viewed below.
Starring Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins, Lili Simmons, Sean Young, David Arquette, Sid Haig, Geno Segers, Kathryn Morris, Michael Pare, Evan Jonigkeit, and James Tolkan, BONE TOMAHAWK tells the following story:
After an outlaw unknowingly leads a band of cannibalistic Troglodytes into the peaceful western town of Bright Hope, the monsters kidnap several settlers, including the wife of a local rancher. Despite his injured leg the rancher joins a small rescue party with the sheriff, his aging deputy and a strong-willed gunslinger. What follows is a journey into hell on earth as the posse comes to realise it is up against a foe whose savagery knows no bounds. The film takes place in the mid 1800’s around the border of what is now Texas and New Mexico.
I'm looking forward to this one with great anticipation. I can't wait to see the Russell, Wilson, Fox, and Jenkins take on the cannibalistic Troglodytes. While we wait to find out when it will be released (and for a trailer), we should take some time to appreciate the fact that, along with THE HATEFUL EIGHT, we have two Western projects to look forward to that feature Kurt Russell sporting some majestic facial hair.
BONE TOMAHAWK is the directorial debut of screenwriter/author/cinematographer/musician S. Craig Zahler.
