We’ve been all over out here. Virgil gets hired to settle things

down in towns that need settling, and I go with him.

-- Everett Hitch

Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen (“Eastern Promises”), four-time Oscar nominee

Ed Harris (“Pollock”), Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger (“Cold Mountain”) and

Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) star in the Western

“Appaloosa,” adapted from the Robert B. Parker novel.

Set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico, “Appaloosa” revolves

around city marshal Virgil Cole (Harris) and his deputy and partner Everett Hitch

(Mortensen), who have made their reputation as peacekeepers in the lawless towns

springing up in the untamed land.

In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a ruthless, powerful rancher named

Randall Bragg (Irons) has allowed his band of outlaws to run roughshod over the town.

After the cold-blooded murder of Appaloosa’s city marshal, Cole and Hitch are hired to

bring the murderer to justice.

While establishing new authority with equal parts grit and guns, Cole and Hitch

meet provocative newcomer Allison French (Zellweger), whose unconventional ways

threaten to undermine their progress and to destroy the two lawmen’s decade-old

partnership.

New Line Cinema presents in association with Axon Films, a Groundswell

Production of an Ed Harris film, “Appaloosa,” starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris,

Renée Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, Timothy Spall and Lance Henriksen.

The film was directed by Ed Harris from a screenplay by Robert Knott & Ed

Harris, based on the novel by Robert B. Parker. Harris, Knott and Ginger Sledge

produced the film, with Michael London, Cotty Chubb, Toby Emmerich and Sam Brown

serving as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Dean Semler,

production designer Waldemar Kalinowski, editor Kathryn Himoff and costume designer

David Robinson. The music is by Jeff Beal.

“Appaloosa” reunites Ed Harris with a number of colleagues from his past films,

including Viggo Mortensen (“A History of Violence”), Timothy Spall (“To Kill a

Priest”), Lance Henriksen (“The Right Stuff”), and Timothy V. Murphy (“National

Treasure: Book of Secrets”). Returning to collaborate with Harris from his feature film

debut, “Pollock,” are costume designer David Robinson and editor Kathryn Himoff, as

well as cast members Tom Bower and Robert Knott.

“Appaloosa” is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros.

Entertainment Company. The film has been rated R by the MPAA for “some violence

and language.”

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

I don’t kill people for a living, I enforce the law.

Killing is sometimes a by-product.

-- Virgil Cole

When Ed Harris embarked on a family horseback-riding trip in 2005, he brought

Robert B. Parker’s novel Appaloosa along for the journey. A character-driven tale about

honor and camaraderie set against the backdrop of the Old West, the novel captured

Harris’s attention.

“I was immediately drawn to the relationship between Cole and Hitch. After I

read the first few scenes between these guys, I fell in love with their dialogue and their

friendship,” says Harris. “These are two tough guys who’ve been riding together for

more than 12 years and they just know each other. They don’t have to talk about their

feelings necessarily, there’s an unspoken understanding between them. They’re very

comfortable with one another and respect each other, and they have a great sense of

humor together.”

Executive producer Michael London also gravitated to the source material. “I felt

strongly about the novel from the first time I picked it up. There was something about

the interplay between these two guys. There’s a traditional buddy movie at the core of

the story.”

“What is most fascinating to me about the story is that it explores how Hitch and

Cole’s friendship deals with the unexpected,” says producer Ginger Sledge. “It examines

the potential for good and bad in each character.”

Realizing Parker’s novel was more than just a good read, Harris saw the cinematic

potential and teamed up with Robert Knott to collaborate on the screenplay.

“We explored the ways friendship could be expressed on screen through both the

silence and banter between Cole and Hitch—how each of them played such an integral

role in supporting each other along the way, how they dealt with the fear of death or lack

thereof, and how they understood each other’s needs,” remarks Knott, who also serves as

a producer on the project.

In addition to writing the screenplay for “Appaloosa” with Knott, Harris made the

decision to direct and produce the film. He also stars in the role of Virgil Cole.

“Ed is absolutely perfect for the part,” says author Robert Parker. “He looks the

way I thought Cole would look. He has this economy of movement that Cole has. Ed

has a distinct sense of self-containment; he’s never in a hurry, but he’s still a beat faster

than most people. He also has a ‘he-does-what-he-sets-out-to-do’ kind of attitude, which

is not unlike the character of Virgil Cole.”

“Ed brings an amazing strength of character that’s in every frame of the movie,”

says executive producer Michael London. “He has a very powerful, quiet presence, which

he brought to the character.”

In “Appaloosa,” Virgil Cole is an expert gunman who is committed to his trade as

a man of the law. “Whether it’s the law that he brings to a town or the law of a territory,

that is his life’s work,” offers Harris. “He believes in justice and in treating people fairly.

He has a bit of a temper, but he’s also got a sense of humor about what he does. He’s a

very loyal individual, and you see this in his friendship with Everett Hitch.”

Harris’s first and only choice for the role of Everett Hitch was Viggo Mortensen,

with whom he’d shared the screen in “A History of Violence.”

“I had just finished reading Appaloosa at that time we shot ‘A History of

Violence,’ and I gave it to Viggo and told him that I really wanted to make it into a film

with him in it,” recalls Harris. “One of the greatest things about Viggo is his sense of

loyalty. He’s a man of his word. Once he committed to the project, he was completely

on board.”

“We see eye to eye,” says Mortensen of his experience working with Harris.

Mortensen was also drawn to the subtlety in the screenplay’s dialogue and the friendship

between two lawmen in the Old West. “I think Cole trusts Hitch more than anyone else

in the world, specifically because Hitch is very honest with him, even when it’s difficult

to bring certain things to Cole’s attention,” says the actor. “That is my definition of a

good friend: somebody who is brave enough to tell you the truth even when it’s not what

you want to hear.”

“Hitch really is the reason that Cole’s still alive,” says Harris. “The two met in a

standoff between Cole and another gunslinger.” Needless to say, it was Cole and Hitch

who lived to tell about it. “Hitch was originally trained at West Point, but he gave up the

life of a soldier and wandered West. Then he met Cole, who was looking for a right-hand

man in his peacekeeping business. Hitch saved Cole’s life, and Cole, in return, has given

Hitch a life.”

While they have spent the last 12 years bringing peace to lawless towns,

everything changed in Appaloosa, “in part because it was time for things to change, but

mostly because of the influence of Allison French,” Mortensen suggests.

Oscar winner Renée Zellweger plays the role of Allison French, a beguiling

widow who arrives in Appaloosa and immediately draws the attention of Virgil Cole.

“I was intrigued by the mystery surrounding the character of Allison French,”

states the actress. “Just from reading the script, there’s not a lot you can presume about

her. Judging by the way she dresses and acts, you can probably guess that she’s a city

girl and that she’s educated, but that’s about it. She simply rolls into town with a dollar

in her pocket and a story about a deceased husband. You don’t know anything more,

except that she plays piano and likes to be called Allie.”

Together, Cole and Hitch meet the young widow in a restaurant, but have very

different impressions of the enigmatic newcomer. “Cole has never met anyone quite like

Allie, so he becomes instantly fascinated,” says Harris.

On the other hand, Mortensen notes, “Hitch thinks that she’s a bit too forward; a

bit too inquisitive for his taste. As soon as she starts asking all these questions, Hitch

becomes a little wary of her. But Cole is immediately taken with her. Cole is someone

who’s so dedicated to serving the law that he’s somewhat of a workaholic,” continues

Mortensen. “So despite Hitch’s skepticism about Allie, he thinks it’s nice to see Cole let

loose a little and have some fun. But as Cole and Allie’s relationship gets more serious,

it becomes problematic. She seems to be too much of a distraction. And distractions can

be dangerous for lawmen.”

Zellweger counters, “Allie is not all good or all bad, she’s somewhere in-between.

I think you can empathize as she stumbles along and tries to make her way. I’ve never

played a character like that, and I found it very rewarding. I love Allie’s determination. I

love that she’s so weak, and yet she’s so determined to do the best that she can. She’s a

survivor. I’ve kind of assumed that Allie is a graduate of the school of hard knocks. She

is doing the best she can based on what she’s been taught during these times as a woman

who’s not attached and has come upon hard times.”

“Renée brings vitality and honesty to the role of Allie and her own unique way of

being,” remarks Harris. “I don’t believe that Allie is calculating. She’s not someone who

is dark and mean-spirited. She is who she is.”

Another powerful character in “Appaloosa” is the local rancher Randall Bragg,

who has gotten used to being above the law. Played by Oscar winner Jeremy Irons,

“Bragg is a man who has a lot of connections and he’s out West trying to make his

fortune by taking over the local copper mines around Appaloosa,” says the actor. “In the

course of taking over this area, he allows his men to run riot in town.”

The time period and setting in which “Appaloosa” takes place appealed to the

English actor. “The frontier men spoke with their guns,” Irons notes. “This was a time

when the West was just beginning to be developed and the law was coming. Laws were

added and changed so fast that suddenly you had to do things a certain way, which

doesn’t sit well with a man like Randall Bragg.”

Mortensen adds, “It was a very interesting time. I looked into Southwestern

history and the history of outlaws and lawmen, and there often appears to have been a

very thin line between them. In fact, Cole and Hitch are not that far removed from the

‘outlaws’ that they’re up against. There’s not much difference between them in some

moments; they both have displays of temper and violence.”

Rounding out the cast in “Appaloosa” are Timothy Spall, James Gammon and

Tom Bower as Appaloosa’s aldermen; Lance Henriksen as Ring Shelton, a rival gun-forhire

who allies himself with Bragg; and Ariadna Gil as Katie, an insightful working girl

who befriends Everett Hitch. Additionally, Harris made “Appaloosa” a family affair by

casting his father, Bob Harris, in the role of Judge Elias Callison. They had previously

worked together on “Pollock.”

We’d been keeping the peace together for the last

dozen years or so. And as we looked down on a town called

Appaloosa, I’d no reason to doubt that we’d be doing just

that for the foreseeable future. But life has a way of making

the foreseeable that which never happens…and the

unforeseeable that which your life becomes.

-- Everett Hitch

As Harris and Knott wrote the screenplay for “Appaloosa,” they envisioned the

fictional town in which the story takes place to be in New Mexico or Arizona. In fact, the

filmmakers considered filming in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas before finally

deciding on northern New Mexico.

Harris recalls, “I wanted to make a film that had the right scope to depict the

magnificent country in which the story takes place—in the Southwest, in New Mexico. I

thought Parker’s story deserved that. I always loved New Mexico. The Ford Ranch in

Santa Fe ended up being our best bet in terms of scenery and intangibles. It’s a very

film-friendly situation because a lot of production folks have moved from Los Angeles to

New Mexico, so there’s a ton of skilled craftspeople there. Aesthetically it was the best

place to shoot. All you’ve got to do is get out here and experience it. Big sky. Hills.

Desert. Quiet.”

“Appaloosa” is director of photography Dean Semler’s seventh film shot in New

Mexico. “Santa Fe is ideal for shooting Westerns. You’ve got such a variety of

landscapes,” Semler says, referring to the state’s picturesque offerings of tabletop mesas,

sandstone buttes, high desert chaparral, alpine terrain and river basins.

Semler shot the film in anamorphic, wide-screen aspect ratio, often utilizing wide-

angle lenses to capture the grand Southwestern panoramas. “We used a lot of beautiful

still frames with landscapes and people in them. So we didn’t isolate the background,

we’ve included it, which was beautiful. We made the most of the landscapes and the

characters in it,” notes Semler.

“The color palette in New Mexico is really incredible on screen,” observes Ginger

Sledge. “Dean captured amazing vistas, with rich and saturated tones. You’ve got the

vibrant blue sky and beautiful greens with shades of tan, pale pink and orange mixed in.

This land is amazing.”

“Appaloosa” was filmed from late September to early December 2007 in and

around Santa Fe. Various locations included the multi-hued sandstone cliffs of Abiquiu

and alongside the Chama River, where the autumn cottonwoods were turning golden.

The town of Appaloosa was constructed on designer Tom Ford’s Cerro Pelon Ranch in

Galisteo. The scene where Bragg’s men chase Cole and Hitch was filmed crossing the

Rio Grande River near Algodones. While most of the film was shot in New Mexico, the

production chose to shoot one climactic shootout in Austin, Texas, which doubled for the

fictional town of Rio Seco.

In contrast to the rich hues of the New Mexican landscape, production designer

Waldemar Kalinowski worked closely with Harris to bring the town of Appaloosa to life

in a way that reflected the town’s depressed condition.

“Appaloosa is experiencing a downturn in its economy, so we have a layer of

what has been and what is,” says Kalinowski. “We were very specific from the

beginning. It’s not just a dirty little town in the middle of the West. It’s a town that was

established by the mining company.”

To construct the town of Appaloosa, Kalinowski’s team used a combination of

wood, brick and adobe, a building material native to the Southwest. While most

structures were mainly built with wood, some principal buildings, such as the Boston

House Hotel and Saloon, were built with brick. The bank building has a stone façade,

and both the mining company and church are adobe buildings.

Kalinowski covered the interior walls of the Boston House Hotel and Saloon with

a present-day copy of opulent William Morris wallpapers, which were designed in

England. “The William Morris wallpaper is very patterned and represent a visual idea

having to do with the return to nature, and people interested in naturalism. Our

wallpapers were produced in London and shipped to us.”

Outfitting the characters in “Appaloosa” was the task of costume designer David

Robinson, who scoured old photographs and Western antiques in his research. Robinson

found similarities among men’s fashion in the day and reasoned that the similarities

stemmed from the practicalities of the situation. “For instance, you wear a bandana to

keep your neck from chafing, and you’d wear a vest because it gives you that extra

layer,” the designer offers.

Additionally, the costume designer aimed to strike a balance between fashion and

realism. “Photography at the time was a new invention, and those who had their photos

taken were probably more dressed up than they normally would be for day-to-day life,”

Robinson notes.

In creating the costumes for Virgil Cole, says Robinson, “Cole has a classic style.

He’s often seen in a Prince Albert-style blazer jacket in charcoal gray along with black

pants and striped period shirt. He’s very no-nonsense. And everything is well-kept.

“Hitch is more down-to-earth. His colors are browns and greens,” continues

Robinson. “He’s very practical, so when something rips, he just sews it up. He has a

leather saddle strap that’s been added to his jacket so his gun belt won’t wear on his

jacket.”

Robinson designed, sketched and built all of the outfits for Zellweger’s character,

Allison French, in his costume shop. The designer points out, “Allie’s not your typical

woman in a Western who’s typically a sort of a prop. She’s definitely a little bit more

fashionable since she’s coming from a big city. She’s from an upper-middle class

background, so we looked at more upscale fashion of the 1880s and based her wardrobe

on that. Allie’s outfits have a lot more color compared to everyone else’s in Appaloosa.

We first see her in a bronze and navy blue dress. Then she is seen in a variety of colors

like green, burgundy, and her dresses are mostly silk.” Of particular note, one silk-satin

iridescent dress for Zellweger’s character features an actual lace collar used in the 1880s.

Additionally, the modern cowboy hat was just being developed at this time, so the

hats in “Appaloosa” feature rounded crowns or telescoped crowns, rather than dented

crowns with curved brims, as on the modern cowboy hat.

Another key detail in the making of “Appaloosa” was the use of historically

accurate firearms. The most noticeable gun in the film is Everett Hitch’s eight-gauge—a

rare weapon also called a “punt gun” or a “market gun.” At 50 inches long and weighing

more than 11 pounds, it’s an intimidating weapon. The cumbersome eight-gauge was

most often used while sitting on a swivel in a boat, to fire into large flocks of ducks or

geese for food and feathers. Technically a shotgun rather than a rifle, the eight-gauge

shoots a number of pellets or buckshot, which spread out as they come out of the muzzle.

Virgil Cole’s trusty pistol is a bone-handled Colt 45, vintage 1873.

Several dozen horses were used in the filming of “Appaloosa,” mostly large,

sturdy quarter horses, along with some appendix horses and mules. Head wrangler Rex

Peterson studied old Frederic Remington paintings to research the horse tack of the

1880s. “The horses are being ridden with fancy period silver bits and bridles,” says

Peterson. “The American Indians are riding with plainer saddles and bridles.”

Harris and Mortensen did their own riding, mounted on large, solid-colored bays

and sorrels. “They’re both excellent riders,” says Peterson.

The steep mountainsides in the Abiquiu area demanded careful planning and

intense focus for all involved. Viggo Mortensen recalls, “We did all the hardest stuff in

the first week; climbing up steep hillsides with rocky terrain. Rex selected two very

impressive steeds for Cole and Hitch to ride because when they first come into town, they

want to make an impression. They come in on horses that are much bigger than the other

ones in town.”

“The image of Cole and Hitch riding into town in this fashion is classic Western

iconography,” offers executive producer Michael London. “They’re two characters who

set out to right a wrong. It sounds like a simple and obvious task, but they ultimately

discover the nuances and complexities of the situation that make their jobs impossible to

accomplish without compromising something along the way.”

“It’s not a revisionist Western,” states Mortensen. “It’s not a movie about 1882

seen through our eyes as much as it is a picture that’s without judgment of people as they

seem to have behaved back then. The standards of behavior were very different. In some

ways, there were higher standards of politeness and chivalry, but in other ways, people

were much more direct and brutal towards each other. Neither Ed nor I, as the central

male characters, are trying to justify the violence that comes with our jobs in this story, or

to make our characters seem more heroic than they are.”

Harris concludes, “The most important thing to Robert Knott and me in writing

the screenplay was staying true to Robert Parker’s intent. Once on set, we strove for truth

in each character’s individual intentions and their relationships. Though we’re in the

1880s, human nature still dictates how people react and treat other people. Issues and

conflicts of friendship, loyalty and betrayal are still very relevant today. To see it all

come together with such a great team, I really couldn’t have asked for more. It’s been a

tremendously rewarding experience.”

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS

ED HARRIS (Virgil Cole/Director/Screenwriter/Producer) See bio in cast

section.

ROBERT KNOTT (Screenwriter/Producer) is a third-generation actor whose

grandparents had a traveling theater tent show that followed the wheat harvest in the

1930s. When the show closed, his family made camp in Oklahoma, where Knott was

born and raised by actors, musicians and storytellers. Before enrolling as an art major at

the University of Oklahoma, he worked for a decade on oil rigs in Texas, Alaska and the

Middle East. Inevitably, his legacy drew him toward a professional life in theater and

film, and he has enjoyed a rich and diverse career in all aspects of movie making for 25

years.

As an actor, Knott starred in “Swimmers” with two-time Tony winner Cherry

Jones. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win the New

American Cinema Award at the 2005 Seattle International Film Festival. He starred in

Robert M. Young’s comedy “Human Error,” based on Richard Dresser's play, which also

premiered at Sundance. His other feature credits include “Pollock,” directed by Ed

Harris, Stephen Frears’ “The Hi-Lo Country” and Walter Hill’s “Wild Bill,” with Diane

Lane and Jeff Bridges.

GINGER SLEDGE (Producer) most recently served as co-producer and unit

production manager on the upcoming comedy-drama “The Great Buck Howard,” set for

release in 2009. Previously, she was co-producer of the biographical skateboarding

drama “Lords of Dogtown,” directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and unit production

manager/line producer of Alexander Payne’s Oscar-winning “Sideways.”

She executive-produced the hit romantic comedy “Miss Congeniality,” starring

Sandra Bullock. Sledge’s extensive feature credits also include the comedy “Mickey

Blue Eyes,” starring Hugh Grant, and the romantic drama “The Only Thrill,” starring

Diane Keaton and Sam Shepard, on which she served as unit production manager; the

ROBERT B. PARKER (Novel) is a New York Times best-selling author who has

published over fifty novels to critical acclaim. His titles include the popular Spenser

novels and Jesse Stone books, all of which have been best-sellers since the late 1970s; his

more recent best-selling novels have included Sea Change, School Days and Appaloosa.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Parker attended Colby College in Maine,

served with the Army in Korea, and then completed a Ph.D in English at Boston

University. He married his wife Joan in 1956; they raised two sons, David and Daniel.

Together the Parkers founded Pearl Productions, a Boston-based independent film

company named after their short-haired German pointer, Pearl, who has also been

featured in many of Parker’s novels. The Parkers live in Cambridge, MA.

In 1971, Parker began writing his Spenser novels while teaching at Boston’s

Northeastern University. Soon his novels began appearing on The New York Times best-

seller list. Parker’s Spenser novels inspired the ABC series, “Spenser: For Hire.” In

February 2005, CBS broadcast its highly rated adaptation of the Jesse Stone novel Stone

Cold, which featured Tom Selleck in the lead role as Parker’s small-town police chief.

Following that, CBS has aired three more telefilms based on Parker’s Jesse Stone books:

“Night Passage,” “Death in Paradise” and “Sea Change.”

Parker was named Grand Master of the 2002 Edgar Awards by the Mystery

Writers of America, an honor shared with earlier masters such as Alfred Hitchcock and

Ellery Queen.
