I Can't Tell If This Trailer For The Western ONCE UPON A TIME IN DEADWOOD is Meant To Be Funny or Serious
I’ve got a trailer to share with you today for an upcoming western called Once Upon a Time in Deadwood, and I can’t tell if its supposed to be funny or serious. I think it’s serious, and the fact that it’s serious makes it even more funny.
The story follows “a notorious gunslinger who is slipped a slow-acting poison by an heiress and told he has three days to track down and rescue her sister, who has been kidnapped by a band of hoodlums and holds the antidote.”
The gunslinger is played by Charles Bronson look-a-like actor Robert Bronzi (Death Kiss) and it also stars Michael Pare (Streets of Fire), who is the villain. Rene Perez directs from his screenplay, and the movie was filmed in California as well as in Western Leone, near Almeria, Spain, site of much of the filming of the famous Sergio Leone/Charles Bronson western Once Upon a Time in the West.
I love Once Upon a Time in the West, but this movie isn’t even close to being in the same league as that one. It’s said that, “If you liked Death Kiss, you'll love Bronzi again delivering his brand of justice. We filmed at recognizable locations where Bronson stood 50 years ago on the classic ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, and I can't wait for fans to check out this latest chapter in our series of films with Bronzi."
The movie comes out in the U.S. on October 1st on digital and on November 19th on DVD.
