Farmiga going up against A Thousand Guns

Vera Farmiga is setting to get herself a nice slice of revenge as she signs on to be the lead in the upcoming independent Western picture A Thousand Guns. Spanish director Daniel Calparsoro is attached to helm the picture from the script written by Russell Friedenberg. The script centers on a preacher’s wife (Farmiga) and her journey of revenge.

Calparsoro and Friedenberg are also collaborating on another project entitled The Cold, a horror/thriller that includes the talents of Jesse Bradford and Shane West. No word yet on when the production will begin filming, but here’s a little more information on the new company Prominent Pictures which will be backing the flick (via Variety).:

“Our focus is on smart financing models for independent films by forging key strategic alliances with distributors, studios and agencies that address the best means of commercial success for each individual project we choose to produce,” Cho said.

Their projects include Sian Heder’s “Tallulah,” based on Heder’s short “Mother” about a neglectful Beverly Hills mom who hires a stranger to babysit her toddler.

Farmiga will next be appearing in Malcolm Venville’s comedic picture Henry’s Crime, meanwhile she’s currently tangled up in the middle of filming in Duncan Jones’ Source Code.
