Plot Synopsis and Teaser Poster for Chris Nahon’s Gunslinger

Here’s your first look at a heavily photoshopped teaser poster for the upcoming Josh Harnett post-apocalyptic actioner “Gunslinger”. Yeah, it’s basically a poster for the John Woo videogame “Stranglehold” with Josh Harnett’s face photoshopped over Chow Yun Fat’s, and some gun-toting guys on snowmobiles added in because, apparently, there’s gonna be lots and lots of snowmobiling combat in this movie. Via the boys at Quiet Earth.

In 2012 the world economy collapses.

In 2014 all first world governments crumble.

In 2015 the power and lights go out.

2018, Wisconsin, USA. Communities live in fear, protected by paid gunmen. We cut to Jake (former engineer) now hunting for food to feed his family. He sees smoke in the distance and realises that it is his home. A gang, led by the psychopath Brody, has attacked and murdered his family.

Seeking revenge, he enlists his ex-military brother ‘Sev’ (Josh Hartnett) to track and hunt the killers.

A series of snowmobile chases, shootings and deaths lead us to a climatic showdown in a nearby town. Jake and Sev must take on the whole town in a big finale shootout, aided by local barmaid ‘Kate’ (Anna Anissimova).

So, Harnett is playing an ex-military badass in this one, huh? Funny, I would think he might actually be better as the “former engineer” Jake and leave the badass role to someone more grizzled, more, you know, capable of being badass-ish.

In any case, the $16 million dollar picture is being directed by Chris Nahon (“Blood: The Last Vampire”) and will commence shooting early next year.
