Rue Morgue Cinema and Raven Banner Entertainment announced to Bloody that guitar legend and film producer Slash (Guns ‘n’ Roses, Nothing Left To Fear) will join as executive producer for the western thriller Cut Throats Nine.
Attached to the project are stars Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, “Hannibal”), Harvey Kietel (Reservoir Dogs), Julian Richings (Man of Steel, X-Men: The Last Stand) Kris Holden Ried (Lost Girl, The Tudors), writer/director Rodrigo Cudino (The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh).
“Cut Throats Nine is a retooling of the classic 1972 Spanish film which updates and expands upon the themes of the original for a modern audience, while retaining the edge that made the original a cult classic. Both a western and a thriller, Cut Throats Nine approaches the genre with the philosophy that the biggest monster of them all is a human being pushed to its limits.”
Production is slated to commence in late 2014.
