Sounds great. The critical and/or box office successes of films like “There Will Be Blood” and “True Grit” should make more 18th century westerns like this more commercially viable. Can’t wait for “Blood Meridien” already!!!
Hoping projects like this become the nail in the coffin for superhero shit.
Ten movies could be made out of Charlie Siringo’s many different lives. He lived his last years in Los Angeles – mainly Altadena – where he kept in touch with many of his old friends in LA during the 1920′s such as Wyatt Earp.
I have read the book. This summary doesn’t line up at all. Have they not read the book? Are they totally changing it?
I must be living under a rock, a story about the gold rush and I haven’t read it yet. Going to go and find it today. On another note, worked on a show this year for a German production called “Gold” written and directed by Thomas Arslan who was one of the people who started the Berlin School style of film making so stories of the Klondike are definatly popular not only in North America but around the world as well. Who knows, maybe another gold rush will start… Better get this show out there so Soapy can teach future con-men how to do it!
