Doctor Gonzo

based on the 2005 novel Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker. The film is directed by Ed Harris and is co-written by Harris and Robert Knott. Appaloosa stars Harris alongside Viggo Mortensen and Renee Zellweger. Appaloosa is centered around two friends who are hired to defend a town from a lawless rancher. Their plans are disrupted by the arrival of an attractive widow.

Trailer looks great. I plan on checking out the book soon...

Looks great. I'll see this one for sure.

dadaluholla

Wow, that does look good...AND it has Lance Henriksen.

Mountain Biker

I concur with all of the above comments...a must see for me!

B5Erik

OH, HELL YEAH!!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Westerns, and this one looks great! I also like almost everyone in the cast, so this could be one hell of a great movie! I can't wait!!

NoirFan

Been slim pickings in the Western genre in recent years. I'm intrigued by the casting of Jeremy Irons, though Zellweger makes me a bit weary.

RTisBetter

i like westerns.. i will download this for sure

NoirFan

Awesome!

Zen Peckinpah

Too tired to watch the trailer, but by Zeus's beard, I don't give a shit that Zellweger is in it.

This has Lance Henriksen in addition to Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen? Okay, I want to see this right now, especially after the Western's recent glory both literally (Jesse James, 3:10 to Yuma) and figuratively (TWBB, No Country). Sold.

B5Erik

There's nothing like seeing a Western on the BIG screen. Westerns were made for the big screen.

NoirFan

Don't forget The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and The Proposition.

Zen Peckinpah

Indeed I forgot The Proposition. I'm real lame and haven't seen Three Burials. After No Country I kept meaning to, but I haven't. Definitely will though.

DarkestPhoenix

Yeah, I'll see it, but it wasn't until watching Unforgiven yesterday that I realized how utterly unmarketable and unprofitable westerns are.

I mean, Holy Shit, Unforgiven ranks in at third of all-time with just barely over 100 million?? Also, calling Dances With Wolves a western is a stretch. A real...stretch.

I can't believe any place in Hollywood would take the risk on such a genre, but I'm happy as hell they do.

And, again, this movie looks righteous.

B5Erik

Yeah, but look at the release dates on most of those! Adjust the box office takes for inflation and they double or even triple those numbers in several cases. Even Unforgiven would be over $200 Million if adjusted for inflation.

Looks fantastic. Ed Harris and Viggo back together? Count me in.

Doctor Gonzo

The poster...

NoirFan

"Feelings Get You Killed". I love it.

Matthew Ackerly

This does looks amazing.


And its been a LONG time since "Pollock", which I loved. About time he stepped behind the camera again.

OldBoy

and Seraphim Falls.

after loving the 3:10 To Yuma remake and liking modern Western films in general, i am all over this one.

Ram

Count me in!

I was just about to post this.

Also check out Broken Trail with Robert Duvall and directed by Walter Hill.

Geofferson

Love the poster.

PopcornTreeCt

Well, I don't share everyone else's enthusiasm. It just looks like another shootout film.

Substitute Mortensen for Kevin Costner and Harris for Robert Duvall and Zellwegger for Annette Bening and it's Open Range.

I hoped Hollywood would lean towards more cerebral Westerns like The Assassination of Jesse James.
