Overview

  • At SXSW, Steven Spielberg said he is "developing a Western" that "kicks ass."
  • He promised the film will feature horses and guns but "no tropes" and "no stereotypes."
  • He teased Texas as a potential filming location without making any commitment.
  • No writer, cast or production timetable has been disclosed for the project.
