It Will Be The Wild Wild West At Legend In October
The Channel shoots from the hip with THE WILDER WEST SEASON next month
Yee-hah! It will be the ‘wild wild west’ at Legend in October. With the wilder side of the western is laid bare in a six-shooter season of violent, controversial and revenge-fuelled showdowns.
A month of blood-drenched shoot-outs, outlaw adventures and bandits on the rampage as the channel goes way out West with a selection of contemporary Westerns, highlighted by the channel premiere of Ti Westโs IN A VALLEY OF VIOLENCE, starring Ethan Hawke and John Travolta. There is also a channel premiere for Jon Casserโs FORSAKEN, starring Donald and Keifer Sutherland.
Ralph Nelsonโs brutal Western SOLDIER BLUE still remains one of the most poignant yet horrific dramatisations of Americaโs dark history and this repeat shoeing gets a primetime slot, as does HANNIE CAULDER, starring Ernest Borgnine and Raquel Welch, intense rural drama WAR ON THE RANGE, starring James Badge Dale and William Forsythe and civil war thriller ANY BULLET WILL DO, starring Kevin Makely and Todd A. Robinson.
