Actor and producer Alexander Nevsky’s latest turn in Western genre thrills has some trailer treatment making the rounds for Taken From Rio Bravo, the sequel to last year’s Shout! release, Gunfight At Rio Bravo. Both films feature Nevsky in the role of Russian-born John Basil Turchin, former U.S. Civil War officer-turned-gunslinger and lawman, with Joe Cornet directing and co-starring.
The new and second chapter sees the return of the mysterious Russian gunslinger who teams up with Sheriff Vernon Kelly (Cornet) in pursuit of a gang of sadistic human traffickers known as The Posse, who have kidnapped five women. Cast also includes a mix of new and returning actors: action icons Cynthia Rothrock, Matthias Hues and Don “The Dragon” Wilson, and actors Irina Antonenko, Tatiana Neva, John Fallon, and Kerry Goodwin.
Cornet directed from returning scribe Craig Hamann’s screenplay with Nevsky producing for his Hollywood Storm label, alongside exec producers Eric Brenner for ETA Films, Cornet for San Rafael Productions and Douglas “Fini” Finical.
Premiere Entertainment Group (PEG), a Los Angeles-based production, financing, and sales company, has acquired worldwide rights, and will present the film to buyers accordingly at the Cannes market.
Premiere CEO and president Elias Axume brokered the deal with Nevsky.
