Craig Zahler.Ĭowboys & Indians: It's been said that, deep down in his or her heart, every filmmaker really wants to make a western. Here are some other highlights from our conversation with S.
BONE TOMAHAWK STREAMING MOVIE
We wound up shooting this movie in 21 days,” on various locations in California. But the most difficult thing, if I had to pick the standout, was the schedule. “After it collapsed three times, after ramping up and spending all the time and finding new replacement cast members, new locations - that was difficult. In Mexico, in Utah - each time, I’d go there, scout all the locations and hire up a crew, and then that version collapsed. “Over the years,” he elaborated, “there were different versions of the movie that might have gotten made. Even with Russell attached to the project, Zahler said, the journey from page to screen was long and frequently frustrating, primarily because potential investors were wary. And to hear him talk - which we did last month, when his movie had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin - this is one case where the hyperbolic phrase “Years in the making!” is altogether appropriate. Craig Zahler makes his filmmaking debut with Bone Tomahawk, directing from his own original screenplay. Cowboys & Indians cover guy Kurt Russell heads the cast as Sheriff Franklin Hunt, a sharp-eyed shootist and natural-born leader, and he’s backed by a dream team of formidable co-stars - Matthew Fox (of TV’s Lost), Patrick Wilson (William Travis in 2004’s The Alamo), and recent Emmy Award winner Richard Jenkins (HBO's Olive Kitteridge) - who ride tall in their respective saddles as they accompany Hunt on his quest.Īuthor S. That, more or less, is the high-concept premise of Bone Tomahawk, the boldly inventive and rousingly entertaining action-adventure opening this weekend in limited theatrical release, and on streaming-video platforms. You just have to raise a posse, and ride off to the rescue in the wilderness.
And if a bunch of those scary varmints abduct members of your community - well, dang it, a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. When you wear the badge and keep the peace in a Wild West town, you’re expected to stand your ground against any lawbreakers - even cannibalistic troglodytes.
The road from page to screen was long and frustrating, but the wait paid off for the filmmaker and his cast.
