I’m starring in a new Western while I’m still in my prime…

Filmdrunk – Paramount just bought the spec to “The Further Adventures of Doc Holliday.”   It’s from Chad St. John, who had two scripts in the 2009 Black List (that’s a good thing).  Paramount hopes to turn it into a Western-style tentpole.  Lorenzo di Bonaventura* is onboard to produce (that’s a bad thing).  Studio is keeping the logline tightly under wraps, but the project is described as a history-based action adventure tale in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Now I don’t know much about western tentpoles, but I do know a thing or two about gunslingin’.  And if Mr. Ventura tries to turn this movie into a Pirates-style circus act, I’ll put one between his eyes faster than I dropped Johnny Ringo.  Say when, Lorenzo, say when.

*Di Bonaventura’s resume: Constantine, Four Brothers, Doom, Shooter, Transformers, 1408, Stardust, GI Joe
