DEAD FOR A DOLLAR WESTERN

Benjamin Bratt will play a villain in the movie

If you're in the mood for some Western (a number of those are currently shooting in Hollyweird for some reason), you'll be happy to hear that Benjamin Bratt has joined Christoph Waltz and Willem Dafoe in DEAD FOR A DOLLAR. Currently shooting in New Mexico, the Walter Hill directed movie follows a famed bounty hunter (Waltz) who runs into his sworn enemy (Dafoe), a professional gambler and outlaw that he had sent to prison years before, while on a mission to find and return the wife (Rachel Brosnahan) of a successful businessman who is being held hostage in Mexico. Standing in the way is an infamous gangster (Bratt) who gets a piece of any action that happens along the Mexican border. Brandon Scott and Warren Burke also star.
