Josh lines up for thriller "Gunslinger"

**Camino** · 09-10-2009, 10:59 PM

Josh Hartnett has lined up for the lead role in “dystopian action-thriller” Gunslinger, set in post-apocalyptic America. He will play Sev, who sets out with his brother Jake to seek revenge for the murder of their parents. Chris Nahon (Blood: The Last Vampire) directs. “This story takes a unique and startling look at what might happen when the lawlessness of the Old West returns…but with better weapons,” said Mark Williams, who is producing with Albert Martinez Martin. Gunslinger is set to shoot in Canada in early 2010.

"The pic will apparently make full use of Canada's snowy terrain.

In the not too distant future, energy crises and terrorist attacks reduce America to a savage, lawless wilderness. It’s a 21st Century wild west, people fearfully huddling in small communities, protected by armed men."

You will have to see what you can find out, we need someone that can give us first hand knowledge. Have you ever met Josh?

sunkis80 · 09-13-2009, 07:06 PM

unfortunatly no i have not. windsor is only about 20 minutes from me, but odds are its going to be filmed way farther up then that. i wish it would have been here in michigan. they passed a law in michigan this year that hollywood films would get tax breaks in michigan. we have had so many famous people here within the last couple months. george clooney filmed at the airport i work at and drew barrymores "whip it" filmed just blocks from my house. i was so praying that our josh would be next! keeping fingers crossed!

Pre-production

Synopsis

In 2012 the world economy collapses.

In 2014 all first world governments crumble.

In 2015 the power and lights go out.

2018, Wisconsin, USA. Communities live in fear, protected by paid gunmen. We cut to Jake (former engineer) now hunting for food to feed his family. He sees smoke in the distance and realises that it is
his home. A gang, led by the psychopath Brody, has attacked and murdered his family.

Seeking revenge, he enlists his ex-military brother ‘Sev’ (Josh Hartnett) to track and hunt the killers.

A series of snowmobile chases, shootings and deaths lead us to a climatic showdown in a nearby town. Jake and Sev must take on the whole town in a big finale shootout, aided by local barmaid 'Kate' (Anna Anissimova).

This is an all-action revenge thriller from action director Chris Nahon.

I had to look her up, I've never heard of her.

(And the gossip on her)

aloha · 11-04-2009, 02:03 AM

oh dear, a russian Paris Hilton?

muse · 11-04-2009, 02:16 AM

^That's what I was thinking, too! I never thought I'd say/write that, but in this case, I'm somehow a bit glad that he's off the single market right now.
I wonder how this Anna actually got that role. Bribe? lmao. Josh, beware of her!

Thank you very much for the update, Camino!
