The first Dead For A Dollar trailer previews the upcoming Western's star-studded cast. The film will be directed by legendary award-winning filmmaker Walter Hill, who has been prolific within the Western genre, with credits including The Long Riders, Wild Bill, and Geronimo. Working under Hill's direction will be an acclaimed cast of performers, including Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, Rachel Brosnahan, Benjamin Bratt, and Brandon Scott.
Now, Quiver Distribution shares Dead For A Dollar's first trailer ahead of the film's screening at the Venice Film Festival. The film will follow bounty hunter Max Borlund (Waltz) who has been hired to find a woman named Rachel (Brosnahan), thought to be kidnaped but actually evading her murderous husband with her lover Elijah Jones (Scott). Joe Cribbens, who will be played by Dafoe, is an outlaw Borlund imprisoned years before, who will likely encounter Waltz during his search. Watch the full trailer below:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Set to debut in theaters September 30, this first Dead For A Dollar trailer offers a promising look for this Western story, which seems to be quite a throwback to the genre's heyday. With such an overwhelmingly talented cast, the movie has the makings of a truly fun watch, especially for lovers of the cowboy movie. As the performances of Dafoe and Waltz take center stage, and their characters hopefully have a good, old-fashioned, gun-slinging showdown, it will be interesting to see what directions the film will go in.
