Tim Blake Nelson is about to shoot a “spectacular” Western “Shoot” in Spain, directed by Guillermo Navarro. Guillermo Del Toro’s regular cinematographer, he already won an Academy Award for “Pan’s Labyrinth.”
“We have a great cast and a script written by British writer Ian Wilson. Westerns change, reflecting a cultural moment when it’s made. ‘Yellowstone,’ ‘Power of the Dog’… each generation needs to furnish its own take on film genres. This one is about the power of the gun as a corrupting force,” he reveals.
“It’s absolutely a current script, but it’s 100% true to
its time. We are starting to shoot in November. The great thing about Westerns
is that they require big vistas, but good Westerns don’t have to cost $100
million. We made ‘Old Henry’ for $1.2 million. It’s a way of having a superhero
film with natural environments and no visual effects.”
