MOVIE NEWS … RETURN OF THE WESTERN
One of the saddest deaths in the world of cinema over the past 20 years has been the classic western.
While there have been the occasional hits (Unforgiven, Open Range, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford). The Coen Brothers' appear to be making some efforts to bring it back (No Country For Old Men, their upcoming remake of True Grit).
The western genre is a shadow of its former self. With recent developments, however, it might be ready to make a comeback.
Paramount Pictures has picked up a spec script titled The Further Adventures of Doc Holliday, which they hope to turn into a summer attrcation, according to Variety. The spec was written by Chad St. John, who does not currently have any titles to his name. His name has been attached to Warner Bros. remake of the Sean Connery film Outland and his script The Days Before ranked as the 10th best unproduced screenplay on this year's Black List.
