I’ve been itching for a good Western for a long time as the subgenre has been stagnant for years, but things are looking up with the new trailer for a totally batshit crazy looking period shoot ’em up featuring an all-star genre cast including Stephen Dorff, Costas Mandylor, one of Stallone’s daughters and the one and only Nicolas Cage doing Nicolas Cage things with a voice that has to be heard. The man is welcomed in any film and looks to get down and dirty here. Strap on those six shooters, grab your horse and ten-gallon hat and let’s do this!
When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history — and a blood-thirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king’s ransom — soon follow. As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed. Academy Award Winner Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, and Heather Graham star in an action-packed Western thriller about true justice in the wild west.
Dorff headlines as a lethal gunfighter and he’s surrounded by some awesome talent including Heather Graham, Nicolas Cage, Randall Batinkoff, Cooper Barnes, Tzi Ma, Jeremy Kent Jackson, Costas Mandylor, Scarlet Stallone, William McNamara, Mohamed Karim, Bre Blair, Forrest Wilder, Forrie J. Smith, Laurie Love, Eric Mabius, Mitchell Hoog, and Ava Monroe Tadross.
Directed by Brian Skiba, who I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing in the past, Gunslingers looks like his finest hour with bullet ravaged action and gunslinging theatrics that haven’t been seen for a long while. I’m all in and am ready for the six-barrel carnage.
