Ed Harris is heading back behind the camera to take the helm on an adaptation of Kim Zupan’s acclaimed novel ‘The Ploughmen.’
Joining the cast on the neo-noir crime thriller are Owen Teague, Nick Nolte and Bill Murray. Amy Madigan and Lily Harris are also set for the film.
The film is said to be set in the wilderness of Montana, where a strange friendship develops between a haunted young deputy sheriff and a notorious old murderer. John Gload (Nolte) is a killer so adept at his job that only now has he been apprehended. Val Millimaki (Teague) is a low man in the Copper County Sheriff’s Department. As Val continues his unlucky streak of finding dead bodies, Sheriff (Murray) puts him on night duty to try and get Gload to reveal his past. Val finds much in common with his prisoner and dangerously seeks counsel from him.

“Been trying to get this film made for a while,” said Harris, he continued “It’s worth the wait to tell this intriguing story with a great cast and crew and the beauty of Montana.”
Harris, Ginger Sledge, Claude Dal Farra and Brian Keady of BCDF Pictures, and Robert Knott are producers, alongside Matthew Shreder and Grant Mohrman as executive producers.
