The Kid
Director: Vincent D’Onofrio (“Don’t Go in the Woods “)
Cast: Chris Pratt, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ethan Hawke, Dane DeHaan, Adam Baldwin
Details: A reunion of three key players from “The Magnificent Seven” remake, Vincent D’Onofrio’s second feature brings back his co-stars Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke for this much more indie western drama from new scribe Andrew Lanham (“Just Mercy”) and produced by Geffen Records president Jordan Schur whose son Jake Schur takes on the lead role.
The aim? To offer a different take on the legends of Billy The Kid and Pat Garrett. The story follows a young boy whose uncle has murdered his father and turned his sister out onto the streets. The boy tries to rope Billy (Dane DeHaan) into killing said uncle, but finds his romantic notions of the gunfighting outlaw are false and a true hero is there in the form of Sheriff Garrett (Ethan Hawke).
