Cowboying Up to the Edge

Comedy did not quite work out for Patrick Wilson (well, that’s not entirely true or fair – but his Stretch is getting just an Amazon and iTunes release on Oct. 7 and an On Demand platform the following week...), so the actor is trying his hand at a western that promises to be most violent.

See, Wilson has signed on to join Kurt Russell and Richard Jenkins in Bone Tomahawk, the story of four men who try to rescue some captives, “from a band of cannibalistic troglodytes that live beyond the edge of civilization.” He will play a cowboy whose rise as the leader of a cattle outfit is interrupted by an accident.

Matthew Fox (TV’s Lost) also has boarded the project, as an eloquent, yet inscrutable gentleman of an outlaw.
