Story Plot

In 1899, the era of the Old West comes to an end. Dutch van der Linde's gang fights to survive as the government hunts down the outlaws. Arthur Morgan (played by Josh Brolin), a loyal and hardened gunslinger, faces moral dilemmas as the outlaw brotherhood falls apart. As they escape the law and face betrayals within, Arthur must decide between his loyalty to Dutch and his own redemption before the world he knows disappears forever.

  • $150-180 million is reasonable for a Western with big-name actors and big sets.
  • Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow have produced similar high-budget westerns (The Revenant, Hostiles).
  • It takes a strong cast and practical effects to capture the rawness of the Old West
  • Filmed in Montana, New Mexico and Canada to capture the game's aesthetic.
  • Use of IMAX cameras and wide shots to highlight landscapes
  • Use of practical effects, period weapons and intense but realistic action scenes.
  • Inspiration from The Revenant and Unforgiven.
  • : If it maintains the essence of the game with a solid script and proper direction, it could be the best modern western.
