EXCLUSIVE: NBC’s adaptation of The Sixth Gun graphic novels has found its lead. Laura Ramsey (The Ruins) will star in the Carlton Cuse-produced pilot. Written by Ryan Condal, directed by Jeffrey Reiner and produced by Uni TV, The Sixth Gunis a supernatural Western which follows the story of six mythical guns, each with its own other-worldly powers. When the Sixth Gun, the most powerful and dangerous of the group, resurfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, a farmer’s daughter named Becky Montcrief (Ramsey), dark forces reawaken. Vile men, long thought dead, set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing Becky.
Ramsey, repped by CAA, CAA, KLWGN and Craig Emanuel, joins W. Earl Brown, Graham McTavish and Aldis Hodge who also were cast in the pilot today. She next plays the female lead in Matthew Weiner’s You Are Here and in Lionsgate’s The Mexican Singer.

This sounds awesome, to bad it is at NBC.
Too bad? Nope. Not at all. NBC will be smart to let the creative minds at work turn this into a bonafide hit. Of that I am sure.
Who thought premises like this could run for years?
Years?
Did you miss the part where it’s on NBC?
She was the best thing about The Ruins. I thought we’d see alot more of her after that movie.
She really was amazing in “The Ruins.” That said, I hate to be all Flyover State, but a show about magical guns? In the current climate?
Actually, I think the flyover states are the only places it would be a hit now.
Are you sure this is not a cartoon
It’s a fantastic script, too bad it’s on NBC.
Where were you able to read the script?
“Graphic novels”. Hee hee. Hollywood wants to mine the comic books but refuses to call them comic books. Hee hee. Oh, pretentious Hollywood, you are so pretentious.
Get a clue. It is the comic book industry that came up with the term “graphic novel,” not Hollywood.
BEST PILOT OF THE YEAR….LOOK OUT WALKING DEAD
An excellent, fun script. If it gets picked up, I hope there isn’t any pressure to tone down all the gunslinging because the script calls for some great, action-filled scenes.
I am aching to see a new western on tv, and I have a certain loyalty to Cuse from his Brisco County, Jr. days. But, zombies? That just seems stupid. Looking on the bright side, if it goes to series, and becomes a hit, maybe it will embolden some network to try a REAL western.
Guns thing has been done but, as no one saw it, this is probably worth a shot.
