Apparently Harrison Ford enjoyed his role as an Old West cowboy in the upcoming “Cowboys & Aliens,” as he is sort of returning to that type of role. Heat Vision says that Ford has signed on to play legendary western lawman Wyatt Earp in “Black Hats.”
Kurt Johnstad is adapting Max Allan Collins’s novel (published under the pseudonym Patrick Culhane). Collins wrote the graphic novel “Road to Perdition,” which became a Sam Mendes film starring Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, and Jude Law.
SYNOPSIS:
The Prohibition era has just begun, the Wild West a fading memory, and Wyatt Earp is making ends meet as a detective in Los Angeles. To help the late Doc Holliday’s son, Wyatt goes east, where his onetime deputy, Bat Masterson, is New York’s top sportswriter. Wyatt and Masterson face a showdown with a new breed of badmen—mobsters led by Brooklyn’s brutal young Al Capone, in a takeover of young Holliday’s hot new speakeasy. As the ’20s (and machine guns) roar, the lawless lawmen enter a glittering world of showgirls and cafe society, of gangsters and gamblers, where their legends may even end as Scarface Al’s begins.
