Try the “Firefly” TV series. It’s set in the future but is basically a Western. The creator said he based it on “The Searchers.” If you like “Firefly,” there’s a follow-up movie called “Serenity.”

Even to the point that some of the weapons were “retro” western-style. A sawed-off Winchester, and a more-or-less LeMat revolver? cool stuff! The Captain Reynolds character dressed Western, as did the Dr.

Nathan Fillion would fit right into many Westerns. Not your typical girlie-man current actor. In some ways he reminds me of Robert Urich, only not as “pretty”. See the character he plays on his current show “Castle” and tell me Urich would not have fit right in.

It’s a darn shame they killed off a couple of main characters in “Serenity”, as it would make it harder to make a sequel.
