Premiers Announced for Last Rites of Ransom Pride
Last Rites of Ransom Pride, a movie written by Ray Wylie Hubbard, and starring Dwight Yoakam and Kris Kristofferson among others, is finally moving forward with distribution, with the LA Premier this Friday and Saturday and a slew of other dates following (see below for complete list).
And if you don’t see a town near you on the list, you can request the movie to come to your area at www.lastritesfilm.com.
““Lizzy Caplan plays a young woman who brings Ransom Pride (Scott Speedman) back to Glory, Texas, for a burial. Along the way, she is menaced by Yoakam’s murderous reverend, Kristofferson’s “savage outlaw,” and bounty hunters played by W. Earl Brown (Deadwood) and Jason Priestley. Peter Dinklage plays a shotgun-wielding dwarf who protects the woman alongside Ransom’s younger brother (played by Jon Foster of Door in the Floor.) Most of the action is meant to take place on the Texas-Mexican border.”

I will be attending one, maybe more of the Dallas-area screenings, so expect a review soon.

Thanks to Twang Nation for tipping me off on this story.

I think it looks how the movies done after 2000 tend to look, but with a very nice gritty feel to it. I’m really interested in the film from what I saw. I like how the man got his throat slit. That’s what I wanna see 🙂

Looks like Raleigh and Asheville, NC are going to get it too, and Calgary, CA. No dates or locations set though.
September 8, 2010 @ 4:49 pm
Great to hear they’ve added Calgary.
September 8, 2010 @ 5:34 pm
Most of it was shot in Canada. They had to give the ‘nuckers a nod.
September 8, 2010 @ 6:43 pm
Everything’s shot up here, it seems. They didn’t happen to list the theater for Calgary, did they?
September 8, 2010 @ 7:04 pm
Not yet. If you go to the website there is a schedule you can download. All it says right now is Calgary, TBA.
September 8, 2010 @ 4:55 pm
Oh yeah. Gitty up. Don’t forget my bootlegged copy man. I still don’t understand how you said you were gonna shoot it without being noticed. What was it, a wig?
September 8, 2010 @ 5:50 pm
I look quite debonair in bowties. 😉
September 8, 2010 @ 9:17 pm
I can’t wait to see this. Thank for the hat tip.

FANfukintastik! Good westerns are way too few and far between anymore. Dwight is a natural at playing a prick(type casting)and he does it well…love his music though. I am really lookin forward to this movie! Thanks for the info…YeeeeeeHaw!

Shut the front door! Let me grab some popcorn and a cherry coke! I’d watch this movie for Kris K and Dwight Yoakum alone. Great blog Triggerman.

Oh. P.S. Don’t sup’ose it’d be moseyin’ it’s way to the Hoosier state?!

I hope it gets released in Europe, be it in theatres or direct-to-DVD or BluRay or FutureDisc5000 or whatever. I’m really looking forward to it.
Btw, very cool new design, Triggerman!

I’m sure it will get to Europe one way or another. I’ll try to keep everyone informed if it gets released on DVD or On Demand, or if gets full theater distribution. Distribution seems to be the tricky thing in film these days. The Wild & Wonderful Whites movie has had the same problems. Crazy Heart had distribution issues too.

Oh hello, I can’t believe nobody picked up that JASON PRIESTLY is in it! It’s a shame you didn’t post this last week on the 9th as that was the official 9 02 10 day.
