Hot off the heels of debuting his western sequel Taken from Rio Bravo a while back, former bodybuilding champ turned action star and filmmaker Alexander Nevsky is strapping on the six shooters once again for his all-out homage to some of the western greats of our time. Nevsky is back with The Wide West and he’s bringing some massive back up in the size of SUMO superstars HIROKI SUMI AND ICHI! Like always, Nevsky has been great to Action-Flix.com and has supplied us some exclusive images on the set to go along with the brand new trailer and key art for international distributors. Scroll below for all the horse riding, bullet blazing action you can handle!
Hollywood Storm, a Los Angeles-based production and financing company, has released the first trailer and artwork for the American / Japanese Western THE WIDE WEST at the American Film Market in Las Vegas.
The action-packed Western is directed by Joe Cornet (A Prayer for the Damned). Script is written by Craig Hamann (Showdown in Manila).
International action star and three-time Mr. Universe Alexander Nevsky (Gunfight at Rio Bravo) and Sumo Champions Hiroki Sumi (John Wick: Chapter 4) and Ichi (Ballerina) are starring in THE WIDE WEST. Nick Baillie (Malicious), Tatiana Neva (Prey of Wrath), Kaz Kobayashi (Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai) and Joe Cornet are co-starring.

Storyline:
“1907. The first-ever sumo delegation from Japan, led by Sumo Legends, travels through the United States to Washington D.C. to meet with President Theodore Roosevelt. When the train is stopped for track repairs, they have to stop in a dangerous Western town, where trouble awaits.”
Sumo expert Andrew Freund created the story (based on actual 1907 events) and produced the film alongside Nevsky. Nick Baillie and Bryan Boches served as co-producers. Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart) executive produced through his ETA Films production shingle.
