After a year of being cooped up indoors, and the world starting to open up in its own time, the wide open spaces of the frontier are a welcomed sight.
It’s time to head back out to the prairie and make a fortune in the great frontier again.
Whether that frontier happens to be on a planet far away or a prairie that the saw massive action in the past, as long as there’s a lot of sun and some squinty showdowns, the Western can live on!
The Tom Hanks film News of the World reminded audiences that a traditional Western can still captivate the attention of both audiences and actors, while the Kevin Costner/Diane Lane neo-noir Let Him Go used a format adjacent to the Western to make for a thrilling personal drama.
