Viggo Has a Big Gun in 'Appaloosa'
Filed under: Action, Drama, Romance, Warner Brothers, Movie Marketing, Images, Western
Cinematical has received a few new photos from the upcoming Appaloosa, and some additional production photos surfaced over at CanMag. While this film is playing at Toronto next month, it doesn't seem to be attracting the buzz that The Road is getting, which is a downright shame. It has a stellar cast (can a combination of Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, and Jeremy Irons go wrong?) and it looks like a good, hard Western in the style of Unforgiven. Now, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Westerns -- I live on the coyote infested prairie of Colorado, and have grown up around the history and myth of the Wild Wild West my entire life. The genre can be pretty yawn inducing for me, unless it's done right. But this one is keeping my interest. I loved the trailer, and I can't wait to see Mortensen and Harris work together again -- and under Harris' direction, no less.
Appaloosa opens October 3rd, 2008.

They have to know going in when they make a movie like this it has limited appeal to the majority of the movie going public. That being said, I'm looking forward to it.

Looks like Daniel Plainview's younger brother.

Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. Yup, that sure enough looks like the old homestead. Those godforsaken parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada...that are so darn dry and ugly why would anyone have ever tried to live there? Tombstone comes to mind. Cactus and dust. Blech. Anyway, I digress. I absolutely cannot wait for this film. If it is as gritty and real as I'm expecting, it will be added to my western collection with Lonesome Dove and 3:10 to Yuma. Yee ha!
