Josh Harnett is a Gunslinging Post-Apocalyptic Hero

I always did think ol Josh Harnett would make a pretty decent gunfighter, what with those beady eyes of his. You know, they’re good for showdowns in dusty frontier towns and what not. Alas, there won’t be any dusty towns in Harnett’s new movie “Gunslinger”, which is described as a post-apocalyptic Western set in the snowy wastelands of America. Basically, it’s a cowboy movie set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the gunfighters have better weapons than those pea shooters from the Old West.

Variety reports that Harnett has signed on to star as a man who, along with his brother, sets out to kill the gang who killed their parents. Chris Nahon, who recently brought “Blood: The Last Vampire” to life, will direct the film for 2B Pictures.

Says producer Mark Williams about the movie:

“This story takes a unique and startling look at what might happen when the lawlessness of the Old West returns … but with better weapons.”

Good question, Mark. I’m guessing lots of dead people?

Production on “Gunslinger” will commence early next year in Canada, where I’m told the hills run white with snow year round. Except in the Summer. They have Summers in Canada, right?

You killed my poppa, now you must die! Just as soon as I finish posing. Cool, huh?
