Robert B Parker (creator of "Spencer For Hire) put this story out on his blog . Let’s hope it’s true:
Ed Harris is developing my western novel, Appaloosa for a feature film. He plans to star (as Virgil Cole) and to direct. So far he has Viggo Mortenson attached (Everett Hitch) and Diane Lane (Allie). I’m very pleased with the casting choices, and have a lot of confidence that Harris will get the movie made (as you may know, most movies don’t get made). He should be wonderful in the role. I’ve seen the script and it seems flawless. Stay tuned.

[quote=“me, post:14, topic:3555”]I hate Pierce Brosnan but this movie looks good. Wow![/quote]Actually he has played in a western before,GREY OWL ,it was pretty good.
well trailer looks great. i allways liked liam neeson; pierce brosnan looks allright, but i had big problems understanding him. And i thought my english was good. @me: on the trailer side it says january 26th, i guess that is US release. there is a horrible user comment on imdb. we´ll see
just finished watching Seraphim Falls and I think it’s really really great. great cinematography, great screenplay, great acting. a very quiet and “grande” film, very minimalist and really mature. great stuff for people who appreciate stories like tough man chasing each other

Family westerns, comedy westerns, fantasy westerns, horror westerns, historical westerns and just plain old westerns. Throw in contemporary western shows Unjustified and Longmire, and even the upcoming HBO sci-fi/western series Westworld, and: Are westerns making a comeback of sorts? They seem to have been creeping back in all the way through the 2000s, but there appears to be more activity than I’ve noticed in… well, in a long time.
