Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds in ‘Gunsmoke’?
Apparently there’s a Gunsmoke movie in the works and two of the top names for the lead role are Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds.
The job of Dodge City peacekeeper is proving to be one of the most desirable assignments around.
Several top-flight actors are in the running to play Marshal Matt Dillon, the lead lawman in CBS Films’ big-screen adaptation of the classic Western television show “Gunsmoke” that starred James Arness.
Brad Pitt has emerged as a top contender for the role, with Ryan Reynolds also a candidate for the juicy, gunslinging part.
As incarnated first on the mid-century radio serial and later in the CBS prime-time hit, Dillon is the Western hero charged with maintaining law and order in a period Kansas town filled with colorful vagrants, misfits and desperadoes. He carries on in these adventures with the help of town physician Doc Adams and tavern owner Miss Kitty Russell.
This isn’t the most exciting sounding project to me. I’m not a big fan of westerns nowadays, it just seems like it’s all been done already. If there’s an amazing script for the film, thats one thing, but if it’s just another TV to film moneymaker you can count me out.
