Appaloosa: Sept. 19, 2008
Who’s in it: Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Renee Zellweger and Jeremy Iron
Who directed it: Ed Harris
What’s it about: Appaloosa hires Virgil Cole (Harris) and Everett Hitch (Mortensen), two contract lawmen, to bring order to their town after a vagabond named Bragg (Irons) threatens the peace. Meanwhile Cole finds himself distracted when Mrs. French (Zellweger) moves to town.
What you’ll love: Sweeping landscapes, a strong female lead and a whole lot of bro love.
Ed Harris says: “I just knew [Viggo would] be perfect. The guys had to communicate a lot about the knowledge of who they were without really talking about it. I mean they talk about stuff, but they don’t’ talk about their inner feelings…I wanted a guy I could ride next to on a horse for ten hours and never say a word.”
