Trailer for Kiefer and Donald Sutherland’s Western FORSAKEN
The western movie streak continues! There have been a lot of good westerns recently that include The Hateful Eight, Bone Tomahawk, and Slow West, and Jane Got a Gun is coming up. We’ve got another one on the way called Forsaken, and it stars father and son duo Kiefer and Donald Sutherland. I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty cool to see the Sutherlands starring in a movie together like this. It looks like it will be a decent film worth checking out, especially if you’re into westerns.
In 1872, JOHN HENRY CLAYTON (Kiefer Sutherland) retires as a gunfighter and returns to his hometown of Fowler, Wyoming in hope of repairing his relationship with his estranged father, REVEREND CLAYTON (Donald Sutherland). However, he soon learns that the town is in turmoil, as the railroad will be coming through the area and a criminal gang is terrorizing ranchers who refuse to sell their land. John Henry is the only one who can stop them, but his father does not want his son to return to a life of violence.
The movie premiered earlier this year at TIFF and will be released on February 19th. It was directed by Jon Cassar (24: Live Another Day, Fringe, Daybreak, Terra Nova, The Kennedys) from a screenplay by Brad Mirman. Forsaken also stars Demi Moore, Michael Wincott, Brian Cox, Landon Liboiron and Siobhan Williams.
