GUNFIGHT AT RIO BRAVO Heads To North America From Shout! In 2023
Shout! Studios has acquired Gunfight At Rio Bravo, the new Western thriller from director Joe Cornet. The film stars and is produced by Alexander Nevsky, and also stars Cornet along with Matthias Hues, Olivier Gruner, Natalie Denise Sperl, Kerry Goodwin, and John Fallon.
In Gunfight At Rio Bravo, Nevsky plays a mysterious Russian gunslinger who aids a marshal and a sheriff as they stand up to a bloodthirsty outlaw gang known as The Hellhounds who have invaded their small East Texas town. Cornet directs from a script by Craig Hamann, with Nevsky producing the film for Hollywood Storm, and ETA Films’ Eric Brenner and San Rafael Productions’ Cornet executive producing.
“I’m really happy GUNFIGHT AT RIO BRAVO will be released in the U.S. by Shout! Factory. My western debut may have a lot of action, but it’s also a great story about friendship and the endless fight between good and evil,” said Nevsky. “I can’t wait for American audiences to watch it thanks to Shout! and Premiere.”
“GUNFIGHT AT RIO BRAVO is perhaps the most unique of all the westerns I have directed. Partly based in fact, it has terrific action while maintaining classic western standards. In short, it has something for everyone,” said Cornet.
Shout! will host a limited theatrical release next year on January 13, followed by a digital and national home entertainment release on January 17. The deal was negotiated by Carlos Rincon of Premiere Entertainment Group on behalf of the producers and Jordan Fields, SVP of acquisitions for Shout! Studios.
Premiere Entertainment is handling worldwide sales.
Shout! Studios previously released several western thrillers, including A Tale of Two Guns, starring Tom Berenger and Casper Van Dien, and the critically acclaimed Shout! Studios’ original film Old Henry, starring Tim Blake Nelson.
