S. Craig Zahler has managed to entice quite the A-list for his upcoming directorial debut BONE TOMAHAWK.The film will follow a group of gunslingers out to rescue captives from cannibalistic troglodytes. I love the word troglodytes. Makes me think of chocolate for some reason. Kurt Russell will lead the band of heroes as a sheriff, with Peter Sarsgaard as a cowboy, and Richard Jenkins as a befuddled oldster. Star of TV show DEXTER, Jennifer Carpenter, will play one of the captives.
Zahler has recently written THE INCIDENT, and sold a number of other scripts which are also in development, THE BIG STONE GRID and THE BRIGANDS OF RATTLEBORGE which we reported a few months back that Park Chan Wook may direct. BONE TOMAHAWK is currently being pitched to international buyers at AFM by Celluloid Dreams and is being produced by Dallas Sonnier and Jack Heller.
A good cast and helmed by a man who is obviously on the up-and-up in Hollywood, this could be something very interesting. We don’t get enough horror westerns, which is a shame because cowboys can be absolute bad asses when they put their minds to it. Let’s hope this Cowboys Vs. Troglodytes is more memorable than COWBOYS VS. ALIENS.
