Director James Mangold (Walk the Line) tells USA Today that his upcoming remake of 3:10 to Yuma -- set open Oct. 5 at theaters and drive-ins everywhere -- will concentrate on characters, not cliches or conventions. And that, he claims, will set his effort apart from other recent attempts to revive the Western. "Too often," Mangold says, "they try to make every Western in one movie. It's all about the vistas. They don't lock into one person." Mangold's film actually will lock into two people: Christian Bale (above, left) as a reluctantly heroic rancher, and Russell Crowe (right) as a wily outlaw. They don't aim to please each other.
