Josh Harnett Cast in GUNSLINGER, but not the Stephen King One

Movie Casting by Joey Paur

Most of us are all anxiously awaiting Stephen King's Gunsliger movie to finally get made, so I didn't want to get anybody's hope's up. That wont start happening until after the TV show LOST wraps up so the writers can put all their focus on it.

Josh Hartnett has signed on to star in another film called, Gunslinger, which is a revenge driven tale set in the near future in the snowey wastland of a post-apocalyptic America. Is it just me or does Everything gotta be post-apocalyptic these days Hartnett will play a man who, along with his brother, sets out to kill the gang who killed their parents. Chris Nahon is directing the film, he recently directed Blood: The Last Vampire. Producer Mark Williams says:

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

Harnett is a decent actor and this sounds like one of those films he would do. It's not like this kind of movie hasn't been done before. The first film that popped in my head that reminded of this is Mad Max, only it takes place in a snowy wasteland. It should be interesting to see what comes of the project, but its nothing to get crazy excited about. What do you think?
