Really?  We’ve got a second Nicolas Cage western coming out this year?

Actually, Butcher’s Crossing has been on the festival circuit since last year and, critically, it’s been slightly better received than The Old Way.  Based on a 1960 novel, it features Cage as a buffalo hunter who becomes a mentor of sorts to a young Harvard grad who has decided to experience the old west for himself.  None other than Cormac McCarthy cited the novel as being a favorite of his.  This could be an intriguing role for Cage.

Here’s the trailer!
