Thomas Jane To Headline Western ‘Frontier Crucible’ From ‘Bone Tomahawk’ Producer

EXCLUSIVE: Thomas Jane (The Predator) is among cast set for western Frontier Crucible, which is due to get underway next month in Monument Valley and Prescott, Arizona.

Also starring in the film will be Myles Clohessy (The Pendragon Cycle), Eli Brown (Run Hide Fight), Eddie Spears (Yellowstone) and Zane Holtz (Hunter Killer), singer/songwriter Jonah Kagen and Australian newcomer Mary Stickley.

Dallas Sonnier’s outfit Bonfire Legend is behind the film which will be directed by Travis Mills (The Pendragon Cycle) and adapted from the 1961 western novel Desert Stake-Out by Harry Whittington. Maxime Alexandre (Shazam!) will be the cinematographer.

Pitched as Reservoir Dogs meets Bone Tomahawk (produced by Sonnier), and set in the Arizona Territory of the 1870s, the film will follow a former soldier (Clohessy) with a tragic past who is thrown into an uneasy alliance with three outlaws (led by Jane), a beautiful woman (Stickley), and her wounded husband (Brown), in an attempt to survive the elements and hostiles of the western frontier.

David Guglielmo (The Last Stop In Yuma County) and Lillian Campbell (Love Bomb) are producing with Mills. Dallas Sonnier (Bone Tomahawk) and Amanda Presmyk (Run Hide Fight) are executive-producing for Bonfire Legend alongside Jane and his producing partner Courtney Lauren Penn for Renegade Entertainment, and Sefton Fincham (Dragged Across Concrete).

Preston Poulter (The Standoff At Sparrow Creek) is executive-producing and financing the picture with Bonfire Legend. Guglielmo is also handling casting. Savannah, Georgia, native Kagen will also provide original songs and score for the movie.
