RLJE Films has released a new photo of Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect, Good Girls Revolt) from the upcoming Western movie Murder at Yellowstone City after acquiring the North American rights to the film. Filmed on location on a site formerly known as Yellowstone City in the 1860s, the film is the first production to be shot on the new western backlot in Montana. It follows a former slave who arrives in Yellowstone City, a former boomtown now on the decline, with the hopes of finding a good home. That same day, a local prospector discovers gold – and is murdered.
Written by Eric Belgau (Robert the Bruce) and directed by Richard Gray (Robert the Bruce), the film features a strong ensemble cast alongside Camp that also includes Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary, The Usual Suspects), Thomas Jane (The Expanse, The Punisher), Isaiah Mustafa (It Chapter Two, Shadowhunters), Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws, Mr. Holland’s Opus), Nat Wolff (The Fault In Our Stars, The Stand), Aimee Garcia (Lucifer, Dexter), Emma Kenney (The Conners, Shameless) and Zach McGowan (Shameless, Black Sails).
Gray produced with Robert Menzies (The Blackcoat’s Daughter), Kelly Frazier (From Black), and Lisa Wolofsky (Fatman). It is executive produced by Thomas Jane and Courtney Lauren Penn of Renegade Entertainment, Carter Boehm, Julie Stagner, Will Lowery, and Alexis d’Amecourt.
“We’re thrilled to be releasing Murder at Yellowstone City,” RLJE Films’ Chief Acquisitions Officer, Mark Ward, said of the new movie, coming to theaters and VOD on June 24. “The film offers a unique twist on the classic western and we look forward to working with the filmmakers and talented cast.”
Director/producer Richard Gray added, “I’ve dreamed about the wild west since I was a kid, so to make this film with such a talented cast at our own western backlot in Montana is beyond my wildest dreams. It’s the first film ever shot at the Yellowstone Film Ranch. It’s a really special story – a thrilling western. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
Murder at Yellowstone City Is Heading to Theaters and VOD in June
Given the talent involved, Murder at Yellowstone City looks to be a western to check out for fans of the genre when it is released on June 24. You can read the official synopsis for Murder at Yellowstone City below, per the official website.
In a gold-rush boomtown that has gone bust, a prospector strikes gold – and is murdered. Sheriff James Ambrose (Gabriel Byrne) assumes the killer to be a newcomer, a former slave who calls himself Cicero (Isaiah Mustafa), because “he’s the only man who doesn’t know what I’ll do to him.” But as it becomes clear that Cicero is innocent, and as the mystery of the prospector’s death deepens and puts the whole town in jeopardy, the town’s new minister, Thaddeus Murphy (Thomas Jane) must stand up to Sheriff Ambrose and bring the true culprit to justice.
Murder at Yellowstone City is set to be released in theaters and on VOD outlets on June 24, 2022.
