Kevin Costner & Woody Harrelson Team Up For New Movie
Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson will team up for the first time on screen when their joint Netflix project makes it debuts on 29 March 2019.
Here's the sales pitch: "The outlaws made headlines. The lawmen made history."
From director John Lee Hancock (The Blindside), The Highwayman follows the untold true story of two former Texas Rangers who brought down Bonnie and Clyde.
Kevin Costner plays legendary lawman Frank Hamer and Woody Harrelson is his long-suffering sidekick Manny Gault who hunt outlaws Bonnie & Clyde.
When the full force of the FBI and the latest forensic technology aren’t enough to capture the nation’s most notorious criminals, the two former Texas Rangers must rely on their gut instincts and old school skills to get the job done.
Though both men were out of the Rangers by the time Bonnie & Clyde started their robbery reign, Frank Hamer and Manny Gault were commissioned as special investigators, coaxed back by a consortium of banks to assemble a posse and end the robbery spree of the notorious gang reputed to have killed 13 cops - and others.
The Highwaymen takes the vantage point of the formidable posse headed by Hamer, an old style Texas Ranger who’d survived 100 gunfights and killed 53 people.
Principal photography for the film commenced on 12 February, 2018, in New Orleans, Louisiana and lasted until April 2018.
