Really looking forward to this one and also:
Free State of Jones
Free State of Jones (2016) - IMDb
Are we seeing a rebirth of the western ?
I must admit I am a traditionalist myself. Dont care much for Spag westerns and tend to prefer the John Wayne,Jimmy Stewart ,Alan Ladd type of movie.
Shane would probably be my favourite.
High Noon, The Searchers,3;10 to Yuma are brilliant films.
I am not a great fan of modern westerns. I find the acting and dialogue to be a bit modish and stylised to ring true. Its like a house style has been imposed on this era and everyone has to play the same way. Check out the Pinkertons and Hatfields and McCoys and you will see it.
I trace this back to Mr Eastwoods "The Unforgiven" which seemed to set the tone in looks and sound for subsequent productions.
I prefer Josie Wales to the Unforgiven, it feels more genuine.
Lonesome Dove is also a great production.
I love Westerns. You should make more.
