Production is currently underway in the Land of Enchantment on a new feature film produced by Keystone Films LLC titled "Outlaw Land," the New Mexico Film Office announced on Oct. 6.
According to a press release, the film will tell the story of Butch Cassidy and "a wild bunch who flee from authorities after robbing a train."
"There is no place but New Mexico to tell the old western tale of Butch Cassidy," Amber Dodson, Director of the New Mexico Film Office, said in the press release. "Ranches, western sets, wild horses, vast stunning deserts with train tracks that wind with the landscape, New Mexico is and has always been the place to shoot a western."
"Outlaw Land" started filming last month throughout areas in Santa Fe and Albuquerque and will wrap up in October, according to the press release. "Sharknado" director Anthony C. Ferrante is directing the movie. Production of the film will employ 15 cast members, 150 background and extras, plus 20 crew members from New Mexico.
"Outlaw Land" producer Daniel Lusko, who also produced "Persecuted," said they were "excited to make an iconic western with local New Mexicans at the helm," according to the press release.
