Josh Harnett: Future Badass

Josh Hartnett is many things-- a 90s icon of dreaminess, for example, or the guy who everyone forgot was in 30 Days of Night because Ben Foster is the only person anyone talked about. But tell me, in what version of the world is Josh Hartnett believable as a gritty fighter after the apocalypse?

Blood: The Last Vampire director Chris Nahon is the one taking this particular gamble, casting Hartnett in Gunslinger, a story set in a post-apocaplyptic future with the rules of the Old West. Producer Mark Williams told Variety ""This story takes a unique and startling look at what might happen when the lawlessness of the Old West returns ... but with better weapons."

No, the movie appears to have nothing to do with the Stephen King book or the Dark Tower series that followed it, which, depending who you are, is either a good or a bad thing.
