It was a “low budget” production after all.
Apparently $7 million doesn’t get you much these day. For $7 mill they should have been able to hire professionsal.
I am shocked that the prop guns are not controlled and store in gun prop cases until use, handed to the actor directly just before use and retrieved and put back into the gun prop case after the scene is completed. The idea that a prop gun can even fire a real bullet also blows my mine.
Lastly, seeing the picture of Alec afterwards in what is presumably his costume from the production, he does not look like an “old west outlaw from the 1880s.
It is also another hollywood movie appropriating 1880s Kansas by filming it in Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you are going to do a film about Kansas, shoot the damm thing in Kansas. Same goes for Maine! Don’t shoot you Maine set films in North Carolina.
The Joshua Trees in some episodes of “Gunsmoke” are a bit disconcerting.
