Appaloosa
Opens in NYC, LA and Toronto - September 19
Opens Nationwide - October 3

Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen ("Eastern Promises"), four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris ("Pollock"), Academy Award winner Renee Zellweger ("Cold Mountain") and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons ("Reversal of Fortune") star in the Western "Appaloosa," adapted from the Robert B. Parker novel.

Set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico, "Appaloosa" revolves around city marshal Virgil Cole (Harris) and his deputy and partner Everett Hitch (Mortensen), who have made their reputation as peacekeepers in the lawless towns springing up in the untamed land.

In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a ruthless, powerful rancher named Randall Bragg (Irons) has allowed his band of outlaws to run roughshod over the town. After the cold-blooded murder of Appaloosa's city marshal, Cole and Hitch are hired to bring the murderer to justice.

While establishing new authority with equal parts grit and guns, Cole and Hitch meet provocative newcomer Allison French (Zellweger), whose unconventional ways threaten to undermine their progress and to destroy the two lawmen's decade-old partnership.

New Line Cinema presents in association with Axon Films, a Groundswell Production of an Ed Harris film, "Appaloosa," starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Renee Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, Timothy Spall and Lance Henriksen.

The film was directed by Ed Harris from a screenplay by Robert Knott & Ed Harris, based on the novel by Robert B. Parker. Harris, Knott and Ginger Sledge produced the film, with Michael London, Cotty Chubb, Toby Emmerich and Sam Brown serving as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Dean Semler, production designer Waldemar Kalinowski, editor Kathryn Himoff and costume designer David Robinson. The music is by Jeff Beal.

"Appaloosa" reunites Ed Harris with a number of colleagues from his past films, including Viggo Mortensen ("A History of Violence"), Timothy Spall ("To Kill a Priest"), Lance Henriksen ("The Right Stuff"), and Timothy V. Murphy ("National Treasure: Book of Secrets"). Returning to collaborate with Harris from his feature film debut, "Pollock," are costume designer David Robinson and editor Kathryn Himoff, as well as cast members Tom Bower and Robert Knott.

"Appaloosa" is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. The film has been rated R by the MPAA for "some violence and language."

[kondurperusix]

Renee Zellweger is a hot slut

[jacobespo117]

brony?...me too

[VirtualRaconteur]

@JReyes123 I know, sometimes she's so cute. I don't know what they did to her in this. I love her in Cold Mountain.

The greatest lesson in this film is actually not even related to action or the western genre. It is about TRUE FRIENDSHIP a very scarce commodity nowadays.

[almightywitey]

shitty preview. i hate this modern bullshit where they hop from bit to bit that quick.

[Kelismoviesmoothie]

Great movie- stumbled across it starting on tv and only watched it for Irons, Harris and Mortensen, watched with my Dad and we loved it- got some good laughs too.

@calebinoutlook i think we'll leave it at that i dont want one of those long youtube arguements cause eventually some smartass will say something and we'll both end up being wrong. ill just say i see what you mean but im looking at it in a much broader view, while you maey bee looking at it into more detail. Ill put it this way, i got the same sort of feeling i got wen i watched Appaloosa as when i played RDR, mabey its cuz its western mabey some similarities in character or watever, i dunno.

[calebinoutlook]

@SASPython that isn't an opinion. its a fact that RDR and Appaloosa are not alike except for the fact they are both Westerns. that doesn't make them alike.

would you say that Green Zone, Hurt Locker, or Generation Kill are exactly the same as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 or Medal of Honor? just because they are both about modern combat? no. so why would u say Appaloosa and RDR are the same

im sorry to keep dragging this on but i just bugs me so much when people think the way u do

[SASPython]

@calebinoutlook opinions, opinions.

[calebinoutlook]

@SASPython so every single western in existence is basically the same? cause they all (for the most part) involve the old west, cowboys, walking around and talking to people, and killing? thats so fucking retarded to say that makes something the same. thats like saying all WWII movies are teh same because they all involve WWII, guns, soldiers, etc.

its not an opinion. its a fact that Appaloosa and Red Dead Redemption are not alike except for the fact they are both westerns. thats all

[SASPython]

@calebinoutlook hate is such a strong word...especially for something as stupid as this. They are both westerns...they both involve badass cowboys...they both involve walkin around talking to random people in order to achieve something...they both got killing. They sound pretty similiar to me. and dont take it so seriously its just entertainment its not like i was offending em i said they were works of art ffs. + this was 2 months ago, + its just my opinion dont go apeshit at me...
