Maybe there really
is hope for a revival of the Western:
Variety, the showbiz bible, reports that
Ed Harris,
Oscar winner
Renee Zellweger and
former Cowboys & Indians cover boy Viggo Mortensen will co-star in
Appaloosa,
an adaptation of
Robert B. Parker's novel about two lawmen hired to protect a lawless town from the machinations of a renegade rancher. Filming is set to start Oct. 1 in New Mexico, with Harris doing quadruple duty as director, co-scriptwriter, producer and star. Take it from me: The novel was pretty doggone good. And these folks could turn turn it into a terrific movie.
